Tiivistelmä
Usage of wireless communications has seen a remarkable rise in the past decade. Significant strides in certain areas like Video on Demand and augmented reality, emergence of new inter-net-based services, and rapid increase in number of user-end devices calls for exceptional improvement in wireless network capacity and data rates. To address such needs use of higher frequency bands has been suggested. The unlicensed 60 GHz band with large bandwidth is deemed capable of carrying multi-gigabit transmissions over short distances.
This thesis work is intended to analyze the characteristics of 60 GHz channel inside the tram using the channel sounding technique. The measurement locations were divided in two regions based on propagation environment. To characterize the channel, parameters such as path loss, shadowing, delay spread, and Rician k-factor have been reported. In addition to that, analysis on excess loss and propagation paths has also been performed. The results show how channel characteristics vary at different locations inside the tram. Moreover, it has been observed that characteristics of the channel are significantly influenced by propagation environment.
