60GHz Technology for Gbps WLAN and WPAN: From Theory to Practice

In this book, the authors focus specifically on 60 GHz radio which has emerged as the most promising candidate for multi-gigabit 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 re-use 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 up-to-date standardization activities, regulatory issues, technology development as well as future trends
