Abstract

This paper reports line-of-sight propagation measurements performed at 37.2GHz between two terminals in an empty room in order to investigate the spatialand temporal fadings in terms of antenna directivity and human motion,respectively. The empirical data base consists of recordings of CW envelopefading waveforms with a fixed transmitter and either moving or stationaryreceiver. The reported results include amplitude fading distributions,propagation loss gradients, level crossing rates and fade durationsstatistics. These results can be used in the modeling, design reliableoperation of local multi-point communication systems.
