Abstract

Recently, the challenges of the utilization of higher frequency bands for cellular systems have been attracting attention. In these high frequency bands, besides the higher propagation losses, the propagation channel tends to suffer more severe shadowing by pedestrians in the environments. In this paper, we carried out measurements in the 26GHz band in an indoor quasi-static environment for figuring out the received power characteristics of the upper SHF band. The results show that the more severe received power variation occurred in the 26GHz band compared with the 2GHz band.
