This paper presents the results of wideband measurements at 60 GHz within a street canyon scenario. Simultaneous measurements of a modular antenna array and a horn antenna were used to estimate the Angle of Arrival, Angle of Departure and Angular Spread at both the receiver and transmitter. These parameters were then compared between the two antenna types to assess the practicality of the antenna array for estimation of angular information to inform future beamforming deployment. Within Line-of-Sight, the two systems had Angular Spread values below 25° with the horn antenna having a mean value 8° lower than the array. For Non Line-of-Sight, the receiver had mean angular spread values at 24.3° and 25.3° for the array and horn respectively, whereas at the transmitter the array's spread rose to 45.5° and the horn's rose to 55.3°. The variation in the estimate of angular spread could be attributed to the physical separation of the two systems at the transmitter side.
