Abstract :
In this work, the estimation of suitable antenna configurations for mm-wave communications supported by ray tracing simulations is presented. The influence of human blockage on the propagation channel in the conference room is investigated. Simulations were done for different numbers of persons. By the obtained results we can estimate the best antenna configuration for the specific environment.
