Characterisation of Channel Measurements at 70GHz in Indoor Femtocells

A wideband, fully polarimetric and directional radio channel sounding campaign conducted at 70 GHz is presented. Measurement site was chosen as an entrance hall, featuring femtocell size. Transmitter and receiver were placed according to an access-point scenario. Initial large-scale parameters like excess-delay, delay-spread and angular spread are derived for channel characterisation. It is not the paper´s goal to describe a new channel model. The main focus is the identification of propagation effects and characteristics, which have to be considered in future modelling. It was found, that first more specular than diffuse components occur and second the channel is spatially sparse.
