In this paper, a wideband channel sounder and measurement results for the short range indoor 60 GHz channel are presented. The channel sounder is based on a 1 gigasamples/s dual channel arbitrary waveform generator and A/D converter/software demodulator, which synthesize and detect a baseband PN sequence with 500 MHz bandwidth. A heterodyne transmitter and receiver translate the baseband PN sequence to and from the 60 GHz band. Ten,channel measurements taken across the 59 GHz to 64 GHz range are concatenated to provide a continuous channel measurement covering 5 GHz of bandwidth, resulting in 0.2 ns time domain channel impulse response resolution. The dynamic range and maximum sensitivity performance of the channel sounder are discussed in detail. Comparisons of results with a vector network analyzer based system are shown to verify the accuracy of the sounder. In an extensive measurement campaign with vertically polarized onmidirectional antennas, several different rooms (offices, labs, conference rooms and others) in four different buildings have been investigated. Over 700 channel measurements are the basis for a comprehensive characterization of the short range 60 GHz indoor radio channel with onmidirectional antennas. Finally, a simple stochastic static multipath channel model is derived from the measurement results.
