2. What is 60 GHz Radio? Operates at mm-wave frequencies ~50-70 GHz.
Band is unlicensed in US (sub-bands allocated in Japan, Europe) [1].
Very high Bit Rates possible (> 1Gbps).
Link between fiber optical Ethernet and wireless radio.
3. Why Use 60GHz Radio? 19 GHz of unlicensed spectrum.
Less constraints on transmit power levels compared to other Ultra Wideband systems.
Attractive because conventional circuit design techniques can be used (e.g. Heterodyne).
Other Ultra Wideband Radio solutions require novel design (UWB implemented at 3-10 GHz uses direct transmission of data).
Can offer very high bit rates for connecting fiber optical and wireless Gigabit Ethernet.
