Improvement of Indoor Radio Coverage at 60 GHz in NLOS Configuration

Abstract: In the current development of new technologies, the world of communications is experiencing significant growth thanks to the integration of wireless communications in millimeter band. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to assess the contribution that the use of a metallic reflector panel can introduce to indoor radio coverage at 60 GHz in an NLOS (corridor) configuration. The results obtained by measurement show that the use of such a panel can lead to a significant path loss reduction up to 12 dB, which improves the reception power.
