High performance wireless LAN in 60 GHz band with MIMO transmission

摘要

This paper investigates spatial interference for networks in 60 GHz band and presents a integrated 60GHz transmission module. It consists of a serial bus interface that encodes the channel selection, configures the analog parts and manages the power. Narrow beams are essential for overcoming higher path loss and can be implemented using compact electronically steerable antenna arrays. The proposed package utilizes mainstream manufacturing and automated assembly process, it paves the way for the market success of 60 GHz applications. Because low variation in phase shift across process and temperature implies, each element is set phase-shift without any calibration for variations. The direction spread measure is treated with information of the power distribution of the components.
