3D mmWave channel concept supporting free rotation, generic arrays and dual polarization

Millimeter-wave (mmW) carrier frequencies offer new opportunities to build new antenna concepts, however these high frequencies make it nearly impossible to build an omnidirectional antenna. Therefore, it is important to model the position, the rotation of the UE and the surface orientation of the connected antennas. It is also important to consider the corresponding anisotropy in the channel modeling. Especially a three-dimensional (3D) channel model taking dual polarization effects into account is required and shall be illustrated in this communication. Therefore, Radio Frequency (RF) based pattern simulation is combined with the base band link-level simulator.
