Performance evaluation of 60 GHz WLAN antennas under realistic propagation conditions with human shadowing

In this paper, the evaluation of different 60 GHz WLAN antenna designs is presented. Based on ray tracing and human blockage the radio propagation in a living room scenario is modeled. Then simulated 3D antenna patterns of conventional and smart antennas are linked to the radio channel data. The performance of the antennas is compared in terms of the coverage probability within the living room.
