✦ Synopsis

Wideband communication characteristics of millimeter-wa¨e channels for rectangular and arched buildings with and without metallic furniture are in¨estigated. The impulse responses of rectangular and arched buildings for any transmitter᎐recei¨er location are computed by shooting and bouncing rayrimage techniques. By using the impulse responses of these multipath channels, the impact of the shapes of building and metallic furniture on an indoor multipath en¨ironment is ( in¨estigated. In addition, the outage probabilities for a BPSK binary ) phase-shift keying system with phase and timing reco¨ery circuits are calculated. Numerical results show that the mean rms delay spread for arched buildings is smaller than that for rectangular buildings. Moreo¨er, it is also found that when the recei¨er is located near metallic furniture, the multipath effect caused by the metallic furniture is se¨ere. In addition, numerical results also show that the outage probability for an arched building is lower than that for a rectangular building. ᮊ 1998
