Static and dynamic millimeter-wave channel measurements at 60 GHz in a conference room

In this work, we present an empirical study on the characteristics of the radio channel at 60 GHz for an indoor environment. The measurement campaign is conducted in a conference room scenario, where the propagation properties are evaluated and analyzed. The wideband channel sounding equipment is utilized during the channel evaluation. First, the static measurement results are presented for various transmitter positions in the conference room. Further, we contribute the measurement results of the channel impulse response (CIR) for the case where there are several people randomly moving around the room. It is well known that human body blockage can severely attenuate the signal and thus the strongest reflected paths can be used for communication. The analysis of the path loss is thus conducted for the dynamically changing environment.
