Millimeter-wave close proximity high-speed data transfer system

Abstract

This paper presents the system concept, transceiver architecture, and control sequence for a millimeter-wave (60-GHz) band close proximity high-speed data transfer system. The communication range and the use case are limited to achieve fast link setup time and a stable point-to-point connection. Prototype equipment developed for the system includes three types of wireless transceivers; cooperative operation among them makes it possible to reduce the link setup time and limit the communication range. The system’s control sequence enables the link setup time to be reduced from 7 seconds to 0.2 seconds.
