Abstract :
This paper presents a new human influence model for 60 GHz close-to-user communications. The model is based on both Geometrical Optics results and a modified creeping wave formulation. It is applied in an indoor environment and the mean attenuation of the channel with the human body presence is calculated. As expected, it is shown that the attenuation is highly affected by the user orientation with respect to the transmitter. In this paper, only a normally incident plane wave with TM polarization is studied.
