Statistical Modeling of 60 GHz Wireless Channel in an Underground Mine Gallery

In this work, 60 GHz radio wave propagation mea- surements at 40 m underground mine gallery and its statistical modeling are presented. Different antennas such as horn and omnidirectional with horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarizations employing 0.46 ns time resolution have been considered during the campaign. Results that vertical polarization, a higher number of multipath higher RMS (root mean square) delay spread value horizontal polarization. Statistical modeling of multipath profiles that path arrival follows the modified Poisson distribution while path amplitude satisfies mostly the Lognormal distribution.
