Abstract

The channel measurement and modeling of large- scale fading characteristics of 45-GHz band in three typical indoor environments are investigated. An automatic measurement system owning a sufficient dynamic range is designed to overcome the prominent attenuation in 45-GHz band. After conducting extensive measurements, large-scale fading characteristics including path-loss exponent, cross-polarization discrimination ratio, and standard deviation of shadow fading are obtained and compared in different scenario setups. Goodness-of-fit test is applied to validate whether the assumed log-normal distribution can describe the shadow fading characteristics.
