Abstract :
The application of a switched five-sector beam antenna in high-speed indoor wireless LAN systems operating in the 60 GHz band is investigated. The effects of line-of-sight obstruction as well as the influence of the access-point antenna height are experimentally studied in a typical small-sized office room. The results are compared with those obtained with classical antenna configurations
