Initial experimental characterization of the millimeter-wave radio channel

This work presents a measurement campaign at 60GHz in an indoor environment using a Vector Network Analyzer, and in a second step, results are compared with Ray Tracing Simulations. Electrical parameters have been optimized and good agreement is found between the experimental and theoretical approaches.
