Indoor 60 GHz wideband communication channel prediction based on 18 GHz channel measurements

Due to the trends for new wideband services we decided to analyse the behaviour of the 60 GHz communication channel. In this paper we presented our conclusions of the 60 GHz communication channel behaviour based on the behaviour of 18 GHz communication channels. Due to the lack of very expensive and necessary equipment we decided to assume the behaviour of 60 GHz channel based on measurements at 18 GHz that have been available to us. Measurements at 18 GHz that were performed inside the building were taken from the literature for the time and frequency domain. Based on these measurements, we found out for new services at 60 GHz that we have to take into account factors which influence on the quality of the received signal. Factors such as moving people, echoes from the walls of the building, echoes of the lift shafts, stairways, etc. influence non negligible on the level of the received signal.
