Characterization of 60 GHz Shadowing by Human Bodies and Simple Phantoms
The 60 GHz band is very promising for high data rate (>1 Gb/s) wireless systems operating at short ranges. However, due to the short wavelengths in this frequency band, the shadowing effects cuased by human bodies and furniture are severe and need to be modeled properly. In this paper, we present an experimental, measurement-based characterization of the reflection and shadowing effects in the 60
