WiGig Technology Antenna Evaluation

摘要

Wireless Gigabit applications that offer advanced high-speed data transmissions are gaining wide interest. The Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) is currently establishing specifications for the protocols needed to establish an industry uniform standard for data transmissions at rates of up to 7 Gigabits per second (Gbps). This rate is an order of magnitude faster than current communications standards. The WiGig standard is based on the IEEE 802.11 protocol, and is backward compatible with previous generation capabilities. It can switch between any bands including the 2.4, 5, and the new broadband 60 GHz (7 GHz available bandwidth) spectrum. The switching is transparent and thus provides for seamless operation. The implementation will vary over a wide range of devices such as cell phones, laptop computers and other peripheral devices.
