Abstract

This paper presents the comparison of power angular spectra at frequencies below and above 6 GHz, i.e., 2, 15, 28, 60 GHz. With the increased focus on millimeter wave frequencies for ultra-high data rates, a detailed understanding of channel frequency dependence has become crucial. The analysis in this paper is based on multi-frequency radio channel measurements in an indoor coffee room environment for both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) scenarios. For multipath extraction, two different methodologies are used at below and above 6 GHz frequency bands, respectively. The results indicate that LOS channels demonstrate a similar spatial spread at all the frequencies considered, and hence can be spatially modeled in a similar fashion. The NLOS channels exhibit larger spatial spread overall. The paths at above 6 GHz channels appear to be spatially more consistent compared to those that are below 6 GHz, where penetrated and diffracted paths also exist.
