Abstract :
This paper investigates diffracted and scattered waves in unlicensed millimeter wave mobile-to-mobile, access and backhaul radio links. Narrowband 60 GHz measurements of diffraction at building corners, and scattering by a car, lamppost and building, as well as blocking by humans are presented. Semi-analytical corner diffraction and human blocking models are proposed and verified based on the measurements. Analysis of the diffraction and scattering shows that the contributions from vehicular and lamppost scattered paths can be dominant compared to corner diffracted paths. Measurements also show that the majority of power from building scattering arrives in and near the horizontal plane containing the transmit and receive antennas.
