Channel characteristics study for future indoor millimeter and submillimeter wireless communications

This paper presents a preliminary study of channel characteristics in the frequency ranges of 75 – 110 GHz and 270 – 320 GHz. We select a small office as a typical application scenario and carried out extensive measurements with the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and frequency extension units in the room. A ray tracing simulator is applied for reproduction of the measurement results and a good match in spatial distribution of propagation paths between measurement and simulation is achieved.
