Abstract
As 5G communication may use Millimeter waves (mmWave) bands, it is necessary to evaluate short-range indoor links from the link blockage point of view. This paper presents some initial studies for characterizing effects of human body movements on short range indoor links at 18-22 GHz. Firstly, measurement system is described, and then, calibration measurements along with initial results of the impact of human body movement on the channel are presented for some scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to experimentally examine the effects of human body movements at this band. Yet, as this study constitutes a part of an ongoing research, further results will be anticipated to present the effects of objects over and around the link on the directional propagation at mmWave bands (28-30 GHz). © 2018 IEEE.
