W-Band measurements for common buildings materials

Abstract

The frequencies above 100 GHz are becoming more attractive worldwide in the area of wireless communications, especially for short-range indoor applications. In this paper results are presented for channel measurements in W-Band (75-110 GHz), which were conducted with a vector network analyzer for chosen realistic application scenarios. Apart from measurement results, this paper includes measurements comparisons of reflection properties for three materials: wood, polymer, and metal, which represent common building materials in indoor environments.
