Abstract :
A new three dimensional Gaussian beam tracking (GBT) method is proposed for indoor spatio-temporal indoor channel characterization. Its efficiency stems from the collective treatment of rays, which is realized by using Gaussian beams to propagate fields. A direction of arrival (DOA) measurements campaign in a typical European residential house at 60 GHz is carried out. The validity of the GBT method is shown by comparing its numerical results with measurements
