Abstract :
Millimeter waves centered at 60 GHz are severely absorbed by oxygen (15-20 dB/km) and, therefore, are not suitable for long-range communication. However, this band provides a unique frequency sharing and interference-free condition for short-range communications. This unlicensed band also benefits from the generous global regulatory freedom condition. Therefore, the 60-GHz band is nominated as an ideal candidate for the high-data density applications by the International Telecommunication Union.
