Abstract :
This paper presents an experimental power angle profile measurement procedure, as well as theoretical capacity results of a single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) system which operates in the millimeter wave band and especially at 60 GHz. Power angle profiles (PAPs) were measured in different indoor locations while detailed angle-of-arrival (AoA) shape factors describing the spatial properties of the millimeter wave channel were derived. The measurement results were related to the site-specific environments and showed correlation between the propagation environments and the multipath channel structure. The 10% outage capacity was found theoretically between 5.7 and 6.2 b/s/Hz for a 1 × 4 SIMO system, and in the range of 4.3 and 4.6 b/s/Hz for a 1 × 2 SIMO system.
