Analyzing multipath propagation structure is important to develop anti-fading techniques for high-speed digital radio systems. Several techniques have been employed to measure delay profiles and/or arrival angles. This paper presents a simultaneous estimation method of delay times and arrival angles of indoor multipath waves. We obtain frequency-domain data at different receiving antenna positions using a network analyzer. We estimate the propagation parameters by means of a two-dimensional MUSIC algorithm. In order to obtain reliable results, a two-dimensional discrete inverse Fourier transform and a gating technique are employed before the MUSIC algorithm. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can estimate the propagation parameters properly.
