Outdoor and indoor path loss modeling at the sub-THz band
In this letter, we present new measurement results to model large-scale path loss at the sub-THz (141-145 GHz) band, for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. Extensive measurement campaigns have been carried out, taking into account both line-of-sight (LoS) and non line-of-sight (NLoS) propagation. For all considered propagation scenarios, existing omni-directional and directional path loss model have been developed, based on the so-called close-in (CI) free-space reference distance model. Moreover, path loss modeling is applied for the 2nd and 3rd strongest multipath components (MPCs). Thus, path loss exponent and large-scale shadow fading estimates are provided. Moreover, power angular spread analysis is depicted, using power angular information up to the 3rd strongest MPC
