60 GHz time-domain propagation measurement system

We present a measurement system and method for characterising the 60 GHz time-domain wireless propagation channel using commercially available and cost effective equipment. Our measurements campaign focuses on characterizing shadowing attenuation due to human activity when intercepting the line-of-sight (LOS) path in indoor environments. Such characterization, accompanied by a statistical description of the received power levels, validates our measurement configuration and depicts its potentials for deriving novel research results in the 60 GHz band.
