This paper presents penetration loss measurements of housing outer wall materials at 79 GHz to investigate the coexistence between indoor-use and outdoor-use radar sensors. The penetration loss was measured for building outer wall materials such as window and concrete wall. The penetration loss is also compared with 24 GHz-band because the band is available as indoor-use (e.g., non-contacted health-care monitoring) and outdoor-use (e.g., automotive radar) sensor systems. The loss of indoorto-outdoor systems is experimentally investigated. As a result, the propagation path through outer wall material, at a distance of 5 m from the house, is found to be approximately 50 dB attenuated, which is 15 dB larger as compared with 24 GHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
