This paper presents results from a comprehensive measurement campaign conducted at 28 GHz inside a container canyon within a commercial port environment. The measurements are performed at various points inside the container canyon, considering two types of container stacking and two different Transmitter (TX) locations, using a narrowband channel sounder equipped with a rotating horn antenna. The measurements are used to evaluate the azimuthal spectrum and spatial correlation, as well as the impact of a vehicle inside a canyon on these parameters. Further, the measurement data is utilized to validate a simulation setup from which the path loss and the elevation spectrum inside the canyon is obtained. Lastly, a propagation model inside the canyon is hypothesized and shown to be consistent with the measurements. The analysis show a low path loss compared to free space, as well as a high angular spread and short spatial correlation.
