Statistical Channel Modelling of Millimetre Waves at 28 GHz and 73 GHz Frequency Signals Using MIMO Antennas

Abstract

Abstract To meet the demand of high spectrum requirement and high-speed wireless communication in future, millimetre waves (mm-Wave) can play a very important role for it. Millimetre waves starting from 30 GHz and ending at 300 GHz can solve the problems like high throughput, faster data rates and capacity. Millimetre waves can help to achieve higher gain by using high dimensional antenna array technology. Beamforming and spatial multiplexing are very famous techniques that can help to increase the gain when antenna arrays are used. Channel modelling plays a very important role in determining the possibility of deploying the wireless communication system. In this research paper, the major challenges regarding the mm-Wave channel modelling are identified and the statistical behaviour of mm-Wave channel at 28GHz and 73 GHz is explained with the help of NYUSIM software. The power loss, power delay profile and path loss, angle of arrival and departure are simulated in this work. These simulations are performed using multiple antennas configuration along with considering the effect of atmospheric impairments like rain, humidity and temperature.
