Abstract

In this paper, we present new measurement results to model large-scale path loss, angular spread and channel sparsity at the sub-THz (141–145 GHz) band, for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. Extensive measurement campaigns have been carried out, taking into account both line-of-sight (LoS) and non line-of-sight (NLoS) propagation. For all considered propagation scenarios, omni-directional and directional path loss models have been developed, based on the so-called close-in (CI) free-space reference distance model. A power angular spread analysis is further presented. The sparsity of the wireless channel has also been studied by employing suitable metrics, namely the so-called Gini index (GI), the Ricean K-factor and the root mean square (RMS) delay spread.
