The SpectrumX Radio Shop Chat series will host an upcoming seminar titled “Propagation Channel Measurements and Models for 6G in Urban Environments,” presented by Dr. Andreas F. Molisch, the Solomon Golomb – Andrew and Erna Viterbi Chair and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC).

The seminar will take place on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. ET / 12:00 p.m. PT and will be held virtually. Participation requires prior registration.

During the talk, Dr. Molisch will discuss recent research on wireless signal propagation and channel modeling for next-generation 6G systems, with a particular focus on urban environments. Understanding how radio signals propagate across different frequency ranges is essential for evaluating spectrum use, optimizing wireless communication systems, and mitigating interference between services operating in nearby frequency bands.

The presentation will highlight results from several measurement campaigns conducted by Dr. Molisch’s research group, including studies of distributed MIMO systems, ultrawideband measurements in the 6–18 GHz range, and high-frequency measurements near 145 GHz. These experiments provide new insights into propagation mechanisms, the influence of urban vegetation, and the limitations of current channel models used in wireless standards.

Dr. Molisch will also introduce new developments in channel modeling and measurement technologies, including the CUNEC channel model and advanced channel sounding systems designed to accelerate directional measurements at frequencies above 30 GHz.

Dr. Molisch is internationally recognized for his contributions to wireless communications research. He leads the Wireless Devices and Systems (WiDeS) group and the Center for Wireless Propagation Research (CWPR) at USC. His work spans wireless propagation, multi-antenna systems, ultrawideband signaling, localization, and emerging modulation methods. He is the author of several books, more than 750 scientific publications, and holds over 80 patents.

The SpectrumX Radio Shop Chats provide a forum for discussing critical challenges in spectrum management, bringing together perspectives from technology, economics, law, and policy. These conversations aim to foster collaborative dialogue around the future of wireless communications and spectrum innovation.

SpectrumX is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Spectrum Innovation Initiative.
