Resumo:The vast spectrum available at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency ranges has drawn considerable interest in mmWave communication over the past several years from both industry and academia. In contrast to past wireless communication methods, millimeterwave communications utilize far higher carrier frequencies. As a result, they provide several benefits like massive bandwidth, a narrow beam, excellent transmission quality, and robust detection capabilities. While mmWave frequencies have a promising bandwidth accessible, their propagation properties differ greatly from microwave frequency bands in terms of path loss, diffraction and blockage, attenuation of rain, atmospheric absorption, and foliage loss behaviors. For a point-to-point link, the overall loss of mmWave systems is generally much greater than that of microwave systems. However, with several antennas installed on mmWave systems, a variety of computational and implementation issues surface in order to sustain the expected performance gain of mmWave systems. The primary goal of the project is to investigate the propagation of mmWave signals using Wireless Insite Aplication. It is a tool that uses ray tracing and takes into account 3D models of buildings to anticipate coverage in an urban setting. In this project two different outdoor environment are going to be analysed which are Aalto University campus area in Espoo and Bryant Park area in New York City. Additionally we conduct an indoor simulation of the building Maarintie 8 of the Aalto University.
