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.
