Abstract

Millimeter-wave communication systems, unlike, for example, classical ones operating in the decimeter wave band, have fundamental differences related to the formation, radiation, propagation properties and signal losses. A new quasi-optical approach to the estimation of the energy losses of the millimeter wave (MMW) radiation and antenna amplification is proposed in the article. Such method makes it possible to construct a loss and interference model for the millimeter wave band (MMB) under conditions of direct visibility over greater than one kilometer distances and multipath propagation models in small cells of mobile systems in urban conditions.
