E-band millimeter wave indoor channel characterization

Abstract : This paper presents the channel characterization of indoor environments in the E-Band (80.5-86.5 GHz). Measurements were performed by means of mechanical steering of directive antennas at both the transmitter and receiver side, allowing a double-directional angular characterization. Specular components have been estimated by means of a detection algorithm. Characterization of the path loss, delay spread, Angle-of-Departure and Angle-of-Arrival spreads are presented for two indoor environments.
