Chapter 1 :: Introduction to mm-wave communication
Band Designation
CW RADAR Circuit
• A mixer is used to down/up convert the carrier frequency.
Millimeter-Wave System
Millimeter wave technology offers better bandwidth comparable to that of
fiber optics, but without the financial challenges of deploying fiber.
60 GHz Technology:: Advantages
1. Unlicensed operation—No license from the Federal Communications
Commission is required.
2. Highly secure operation—Resulting from short transmission
distances due to oxygen absorption, narrow antenna beamwidth, and
no wall penetration.
3. High level of frequency re-use enabled—The communication needs
of multiple cells within a small geographic region can be satisfied.
4. Fiber optic data transmission speeds possible—7 GHz (in the U.S.) of
continuous bandwidth available compared to less than 0.3 GHz at the
other unlicensed bands.
5. Mature technology—This spectrum has a long history of being used
for secure communications.
