Summary

In this book, the authors focus specifically on 60 GHz radio which has emerged as the most promising candidate for multigigabit wireless indoor communication systems. 60 GHz technology offers various advantages over current or existing communications systems (e.g. huge unlicensed bandwidth worldwide, higher transmit power, higher frequency reuse and small form factor), which enables many disruptive applications that are otherwise difficult if not impossible to be realized at lower frequencies. Addresses 60 GHz technology for Gbps WLAN and WPAN from theory to practical implementation, covering key aspects for successful deployment and including examples and case studies for practical scenarios Discusses practical system design covering wide aspects such as antenna propagation, circuit design, digital communication, signal processing, system architectures, etc. Provides uptodate standardization activities, regulatory issues, technology development as well as future trends
