Measurement of Indoor Wideband Millimeter Wave Wireless Channel

A frequency domain measurement around 60 GHz is described to evaluate the effectiveness of frequency diversity in mitigating the effects of multi-path fading in indoor microcellular channels. The frequency diversity for 150 MHz and other channel bandwidths to accommodate modulated signals with data rates up to 150 Mb/s is presented. Measurements are repeated under identical test conditions. The receive omni-directional antenna replaced by a directional horn to characterize the effect of the receive antenna radiation pattern on the indoor channel.
