Abstract
A working definition for 60 GHz band is provided and the available 60 GHz spectral allocations in many countries around the globe are described. Then the unique characteristics and capabilities of 60 GHz are discussed, the case for 60 GHz technology is made, and the potential applications are listed. Topics such as system capacity, link budget, and various modulation options are addressed in detail. Finally, IC process technologies are compared, chipset makers are introduced, and products in the market are listed.

Notes
- 1.
Per ITU’s nomenclature this band is known as Extremely High Frequency (EHF) [1].
- 2.
This definition is provided by Radio Society of Great Britain [2].
- 3.
These definitions are provided by Radio Society of Great Britain [2].
- 4.
As per FCC definition (http://www.Fcc.gov) users can operate without a license in unlicensed spectrum, but they must comply with requirements and rules including FCC’s Part 15. Note that these users do not have exclusive use of the spectrum and are subject to interference.
- 5.
Countries listed in Table 7.1 account for less than half the world population. However, they are among nations with the highest gross domestic product (GDP). With their purchasing power, they are the most likely customers for new products.
- 6.
By definition, equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is the product of power (P) and antenna gain (G). In other words \( EIRP = PG. \)
- 7.
Ofcom is the entity in charge of UK’s communication industries and spectrum usage.
- 8.
IDA stands for Infocomm Development Authorithy.
- 9.
Directional S–V is also known as TSV model [26].
- 10.
SiBeam was acquired by Silicon Image in 2011. It is now a subsidiary of Silicon Image (http://www.siliconimage.com).
- 11.
The power spectral density of the underlay system is significantly lower than the incumbent users, but the underlay is present at all times.
- 12.
UWB devices can optionally lower their emissions by 30 dB in Far East (40 dB in Europe) to avoid DAA. However, given the original range of 10 m, this level attenuation limits the range to 0.3 m (0.1 m in Europe).
- 13.
ZigBee is based on PHY and MAC defined by IEEE 802.15.4 and consists of a suite of higher level protocols enabling low power low cost WPAN networking for control and sensor network applications (http://www.zigbee.org/).
- 14.
The ratio of transmission ranges associated with band groups 6 and 1 is given by (f 1/f 6)2 = 0.23 where f 1 = 3,960 MHz and f 6 = 8,184 MHz are the center frequencies of band groups 1 and 6, respectively.
