Abstract :
The past few years have witnessed the emergence of CMOS based circuits and low loss, low cost packaging technology operating at millimeter wave-frequencies, in particular at 60 GHz. This provides an unique opportunity to address the requirements of a multitude of ldquobandwidth hungryrdquo emerging multimedia applications. Three main uses cases have been identified: peer-to-peer connectivity, PC connectivity and HDMI cable replacement. As standardization efforts catalyzed the interest and investment of industry and agencies, one can count on the spreading in a fairly near future of the 60 GHz technology in the consumer electronic marketplace at the intersection of gaming and connectivity.
