Sufficiently wide radio frequency (RF) spectrum and wireless communication systems with high spectral flexibility are the key parts to deal with the enormous increase of the expected data throughputs. The IEEE 802.11ad technology, also known as WiGig, is operating in the license-free 60 GHz bands with data rates up to 6.8 Gbit/s. It is especially developed for indoor transmission scenarios. In this paper, we present a 60 GHz indoor channel model for an IEEE 802.11ad single carrier physical layer (SC-PHY) MATLAB-based simulator. The channel model is based on real measurements realized in an indoor environment. Its implementation and utilization in our developed simulator is presented. Functionality of the proposed simulator as well as the usability of the millimeter wave indoor channel model are verified by simulations. The simulations show correlation between the RMS delay spread and the achievable data throughput.
