Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship among the device mobility, types of array antennas, and 60 GHz wireless link quality. For the device mobility, linear and circular motions are modeled. A linear, a rectangular, and a square array antenna are designed and used for the simulations to quantify the 60 GHz link quality together with the device mobility. The simulation results show that the linear array antenna may need more frequent re-beamforming due to the device mobility than the rectangular or the square array antenna. The simulation results also show that the circular motion of the device may break the link more frequently than the linear motion and thus this need to be taken into account for the protocol and 60 GHz system designs.
