Abstract :
Temporal-Angular channel sounding measurements of an indoor millimeter wave channel (60 GHz) is analyzed to determine whether ray arrivals at the receiver form clusters in the two-dimensional time-angle space. The channel behavior and cluster energy distribution for directional antennas (with various 3 dB beamwidths) at the transmitter are discussed. Geometric interpretation of the results is also provided.
