+=== Channel Sounder ===
+In this demo, we show a frequency-domain channel sounder at 60 GHz. We generate N_FFT symbols in
+frequency-domain. We generate a wide-band sequence filling [sc_min, sc_max] sub-carries with random 4-QAM symbols. We
+use IFFT to get the time-domain TX sequence. We transmit the data from SDR1 with cyclic repeat. We receive 100 frames
+of N_FFT data from SDR2. The user can select to save or process the data. When we process the data
+
+In this section we demonstrated a frequency-domain channel sounder. We generate a tx sequence using `mmwave.utils.waveform.wideband` function.

-=== Channel Sounder ===
-In this section we demonstrated a frequency-domain channel sounder. We generate a tx sequence using `mmwave.utils.waveform.wideband` function.
+In this demo, we use the calibration techniques by Sivers. The performance of the calibration can be further improved with the IQ calibration techniques described in the following papers,
