Near-Body Shadowing Analysis at 60 GHz

A numerical model of the fading of a receiver (Rx) located near the user body at 60 GHz in an indoor environment is presented. The model is based on the indoor channel model IEEE 802.11ad. The results are presented for a-Rx located in a zone from 5 to 30 cm away from the body. With the shadowing depending on the region (front or back) with respect to the base station, the mean attenuation of the channel over the bandwidth is analyzed and modeled thanks to a two-wave diffuse power distribution model.
