Abstract :
The application of fan-beam antennas in high-speed indoor wireless communication systems operating in the 60 GHz band is investigated. The effects of line-of-sight obstruction as well as antenna pointing deviation on the power link budget are experimentally studied in a typical laboratory environment. The results are contrasted with those obtained with alternative antenna configurations
