In this paper, we present a measurement campaign of indoor massive MIMO channels by using a wideband channel sounder and a 64-element virtual linear array. The measurements are conducted at 6 GHz, with a bandwidth of 200 MHz. Both the light-of-sight (LOS) and obstructed-line-of-sight (OLOS) scenarios are considered in measurements. The Frequency Domain Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation maximization algorithm (FD-SAGE) is used to determine the channel characteristics in angular domain. In order to validate the obtained FD-SAGE estimates, the power azimuth spectrum (PAS) has been calculated using the Bartlett Beamformer (BBF). The non-stationarity of radio channels, which is reflected by power of the estimated MPCs, azimuth of departure (AOD), and azimuth of arrival (AOA), is discussed. The direction spread is estimated, which reflects spatial dispersion of wireless channel. It is also found that the diffuse scattering components at 6 GHz in OLOS scenario is richer than that in LOS scenario, and the magnitude of the diffuse scattering components are comparable with the specular components. It is suggested that the non-stationarity of the diffuse scattering components should not be neglected in the indoor massive MIMO channel modeling at the frequency bands below 6 GHz.
