Polarimetric indoor measurements at 94 GHz

This work presents the results of a polarimetric measurement campaign at 94 GHz in an indoor environment. Measurements are performed using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) using converters and omnidirectional antennas. The radio channel characteristics such as the path loss, rms delay spread, statistical distributions, and K factor are presented. Highly polarized channels with XPD (Cross Polarization Discrimination) greater than 10 dB are obtained with well-defined Rice and Rayleigh distributions for co-polar and cross-polar channels, respectively.
