Abstract

Temporal-Angular channel sounding measurements of an indoor millimeter wave channel (60 GHz) is analyzed to determine the location of two dimensional clusters of arrivals at the receiver. The measurement scenarios are also emulated by a ray tracing tool. The results are similarly analyzed to verify possible agreements and determine the effectiveness of such tools in predicting cluster locations as well as ray arrival statistics within clusters in millimeter wave indoor channel.
