Abstract: This paper presents measurement and analysis results for 60 GHz short-range wideband radio channels. We consider two scenarios, referred to as “Very-High-Rate Extended-Range” (VHR-E) and “Ultra-High-Rate Cordless” (UHR-C). The VHR-E measurements aimed at 60 GHz fixed networks for an Airbus A340 cabin both under static and dynamic (shadowing due to passenger movement) channel conditions. We describe the channel sounder used for the VHR-E measurements and present a simple multipath model derived from the measurements. Furthermore, simulations show the feasibility of the ray-tracing approach for this kind of channel. As a typical UHR-C use case, a data kiosk scenario was investigated. Various propagation conditions are analysed with respect to channel gain, time dispersion and frequency selectivity.
