Antenna Characterization and Channel Measurements in the mmWave and Sub-mmWave Region

摘要

We employ a new antenna scanning system to measure the radiation pattern of mmWave and sub-mmWave antennas in the far field and describe broadband channel measurements in distinct indoor communication scenarios for frequencies up to 220 GHz. A motorized system is used to angularly scan propagation paths in a typical office and living room. As future indoor THz communication systems rely on electronically steerable antennas, a patch antenna array with a waveguide-to-microstrip transition is designed as a representative antenna under test (AUT).
