Organizational Unit
Electrical-Electronics Engineering
The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering covers communications, signal processing, high voltage, electrical machines, power distribution systems, radar and electronic warfare, RF, electromagnetic and photonics topics. Most of the theoretical courses in our department are supported by qualified laboratory facilities. Our department has been accredited by MÜDEK since 2013. Within the scope of joint training (COOP), in-company training opportunities are offered to our students. 9 different companies train our students for one semester within the scope of joint education and provide them with work experience. The number of students participating in joint education (COOP) is increasing every year. Our students successfully completed the joint education program that started in the 2019-2020 academic year and started work after graduation. Our department, which provides pre-graduation opportunities to its students with Erasmus, joint education (COOP) and undergraduate research projects, has made an agreement with Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences (Austria) starting from this year and offers its students undergraduate (Atılım University) and master's (Upper Austria) degrees with 3+2 education program. Our department, which has the only European Remote Radio Laboratory in Foundation Universities, has a pioneering position in research (publication, project, patent).

Abstract

Human activities around the communication link in an indoor environment have a significant impact on millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems, which are used for the new generation of communication networks (5G). Therefore, it is essential to evaluate short range indoor links from the link blockage point of view. This paper presents the propagation measurements in the presence of human activity, for a short range indoor office environment communication link at 28 GHz. During the experimental measurements, the human activity of three and six persons were observed for three different antenna height combinations. The human blockage (shadowing effect) is characterized in terms of the shadowing event duration, temporal fading, as well as overall attenuation. The results reported by this experimental study is believed to be vital in designing future mmWave communication systems that can overcome the deep fades caused by human blockage in short indoor communication links. Yet, this paper constitutes a part of an ongoing research study, further detailed results will be foreseen to present the precise effect of human movements around the propagation link at 28GHz.
