Error in Table

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. Instead of “ F n = d   d B   ” this should be “ F n = 5   d B ”, and instead of “ B W D M = 4800   T H z ”, this should be “ B W D M = 4800   G H z ”. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
