| contents | In this paper, an outdoor channel measurement campaign at 330-360 GHz employing a 128 * 4 virtual antenna array (VAA)-based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration is conducted. The transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) location pairs are classified into line-of-sight (LoS) and obstructed-LoS (OLoS) scenarios to enable a detailed investigation of outdoor terahertz (THz) band channel characteristics. During the measurement process, the stationarity of the outdoor environment is carefully verified, and a linear phase drift (PD) effect is identified. Then, we propose a PD-aware Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation-Maximization (SAGE) algorithm, which significantly improves both delay resolution and channel parameter estimation accuracy. Based on the processed measurement data, we characterize key channel properties, including the power delay profile, path loss, shadow fading, delay spread, angular spread, Rician K-factor, as well as their cumulative distribution functions and correlation characteristics. In addition, near-field effects and MIMO-specific properties, including the spatial non-stationarity and the cluster birth-death property, are analyzed. |
