The measurement in the office cubicle was made with metal shelves, white board, and office window. Owing to the small size of these cubicles, one measurement could be made per cubicle.The measurement in the office cubicle was made with metal shelves, white board, and office window. Owing to the small size of these cubicles, one measurement could be made per cubicle. The residential measurement was made in US homes. The environment consists of windows, doors, picture frames, wooden furniture, and fire place.The residential measurement was made in US homes. The environment consists of windows, doors, picture frames, wooden furniture, and fire place. The small conference room has metal shelves, white board and office window.The small conference room has metal shelves, white board and office window. The large conference room has a large white board and office window.The large conference room has a large white board and office window.  Center frequency: ~60 GHz  Bandwidth: ~1 ns pulse  Contains angular information: Receiver rotated in steps of 1.98º  Rx/Tx antenna type: Directional, HPBW of 14º  Polarization: Circular, right hand
