Analysis of 60 GHz Band Indor Wireless Channels with Channel Configurations

In this paper, 60 GHz indoor broadband wireless channels are measured with various configurations in a typical coffice environment. Mesurements are taken at nine positions of the room and the base-station antenna is placed either at the center or at an edge of the measurement room, and the remote-station antenna is either sharp beam or broad beam type. The rms delay spread(RDS) and normalized received power (NRP) are estimated from the measurements. Bit error rate simulations are performed using impulse responses for two measurement positions with QPSK/DQPSK OFDM modulation. Using sharp beam antenna results in superior performances than using broad beam antenna in terms of both bit error rates (BER) and NRP penalty. Also, placing the bese-station antenna at the center is superior to placing it at an edge in terms of BER and NRP.
