Abstract

This paper reports narrowband and wideband results derived by propagation modeling at 60 GHz for indoor WLAN applications. A multi-ray model is proposed and verified through a simulation process. The propagation in the site-specific environment can be described using 4-5 rays without reducing the accuracy of the results. RMS delay spread varies with distance from 0.57 ns up to 2.32 ns Coherence bandwidth for 0.9 correlation was found at 65 MHz, 116 MHz and 87 MHz for isotropic, omni-omni and horn-horn antenna configurations respectively.
