Abstract

In this paper, we show a stochastic approach to
generate a 3D model of a foliage, which is then used for
deterministic ray-tracing channel modeling. This approach is
verified by a measurement campaign at 60 and 80 GHz with
2 GHz bandwidth. The wireless channel is characterized by path-
loss and RMS delay spread and we show the angular dependency
of those parameters when the receiver is placed on a half-circle
around the tree. Besides electromagnetic material properties, the
3D model is characterized by several interpretable parameters,
including tree volume, leaf size, leaf density, and the tree crown
shape parameter.
