We investigate the OFDM-based wireless LAN systems operating in the 60 GHz frequency band as part of the fourth-generation (4G) systems. The 60 GHz band is of much interest since this is the band in which a massive amount of spectral space has been allocated worldwide for dense wireless local communications. This paper gives an overview of 60 GHz bandchannel characteristics and an effect on phase noise. The performance of OFDM system is severely degraded by the local oscillator phase noise, which causes both common phase error and inter-carrier interference. In this paper, we apply phase noise suppression (PNS) algorithm that is easy for implementation to OFDM based 60 GHz wireless LAM system and analyze the SER performance. In case of using the PNS algorithm, SER performance is improved about 6dB, 7.5dB, respectively in 16, 64-QAM.

This paper introduces a high-efficiency, high-gain, broadband quasi-Yagi antenna, and its four-element array for use in 60-GHz wireless communications. The antenna was fed by a microstrip-to-slotline transition consisting of a curved microstripline and a circular slot to allow broadband characteristics. A corrugated ground plane was employed as a reflector to improve the gains in the low-frequency region of the operation bandwidth, and consequently, to reduce variation. The single antenna yielded an impedance bandwidth of 49 to 69 GHz for $|S_{11}|$ <-10dB and a gain of >12.0 dBi while the array exhibited a bandwidth of 52 to 68 GHz and a gain greater than 15.0 dBi. Both proposed designs had small gain variations (${\pm}0.5$ dBi) and high radiation efficiency (>95%) in the 60-GHz bands. The features of the proposed antenna were validated by designing, fabricating, and testing a scaled-up configuration of the single antenna at the 15-GHz band. The measurements resulted in an impedance bandwidth of 13.0 to 17.5 GHz for $|S_{11}|$ <-10dB, a gain of 10.1 to 13.2 dBi, and radiation efficiency in excess of 88% within this bandwidth. Additionally, the 15-GHz antenna yielded quite symmetric radiation profiles in both E- and H-planes, with a high front-to-back ratio.

CRL (Communications Research Laboratory, Independent Administrative Institution, Japan) is developing ITS wireless communication technologies in millimeter-wave frequency region. Technologies are categorized for inter-vehicle communications (IVC) and road-vehicle communications (RVC). In this paper, system concepts and the experimental facilities are introduced. The experimental facility for inter-vehicle communications is gotten ready in 60 GHz frequency region and the experimental system for road-vehicle communications is based on RoF (Radio on Fiber) technology in 36-37GHz frequency region.

This paper. we investigate the OFDM-based wireless LAN systems operating in the 60 GHz frequency band as part of the fourth-generation (4G) systems. The 60 GHz band is of much interest since this is the band in which a massive amount of spectral space (5 GHz) has been allocated worldwide for dense wireless local communications. This paper gives an overview of 60 GHz indoor wireless channel characteristics and an effect on phase noise. The performance of OFDM system is severely degraded by the local oscillator phase noise, which causes both common phase error and inter-carrier interference. We provide the exact analysis of the phase noise effect on the OFDM system.

60GHz 주파수는 최대 9GHz 까지 엄청난 대역폭을 활용하여 Gbps급의 무선전송이 가능한 대역으로서, 최근 이 대역을 댁내 무선전송장치 및 초고속 무선랜에 활용하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이와 같이 60GHz에 대한 관심도가 높아진 이유는, 밀리미터파 통신이 기존에는 무선 백홀용으로 주로 사용되었던것에 비해 지금은 가정 및 사무실내에서의 초고속 네트워크 또는 영상가전에서의 무선 전송장치 등 응용분야의 다변화가 예상됨에 따라, ISM 대역이면서 광대역을 활용할 수 있는 60GHz가 급부상하게 된 것으로 본다. 이와 함께 CMOS 칩기술의 꾸준한 발전으로 현재는 수 십 나노공정을 이용하여 테라헤르쯔 대역에서도 동작하는 칩이 발표되고 있는 바 그동안 60GHz 시장 확산의 가장 큰 걸림돌이 었던 무선 전송장치의 높은 가격, 사이즈, 소모전력의 문제를 한꺼번에 해결할 수 있게 된 점도 이유중 하나이다. 따라서 이와 관련하여 본고에서는 ETRI와 KETI를 중심으로 진행되어 온 "60GHz 무선 전송장치에 탑재 가능한 범용 CMOS 송수신 칩 및 이를 활용한 빔포밍 트랜시버 기술에 관한 연구"를 소개하고자 한다.

The multi-band wireless local area network (WLAN) using 60 GHz band and the lower band (typically 2.4 GHz/5 GHz band) can support the very high data rate in short-distance communication using 60 GHz band and the long-distance communication using the lower band. For heightening the efficiency of multi-band WLAN, an band selection scheme is a necessity. In this paper, we propose an effective frequency band selection scheme for multi-band WLANs. By using computer simulation with NS-3, we show the performance of the proposed schemes when the stations suffer from the human blockage and the log-normal shadowing.

This paper presents design of a 40 GHz CMOS PLL frequency synthesizer for a 60 GHz sliding-IF RF transceiver. For stable locking over a wide bandwith for a injection-locked frequency divider, an inductive-peaking technique is employed so that it ensures the PLL can safely lock across the very wide tuning range of the VCO. Also, Injection-locked type LC-buffer with low-phase noise and low-power consumption is added in between the VCO and ILFD so that it can block any undesirable interaction and performance degradation between VCO and ILFD. The PLL is designed in 65 nm CMOS precess. It covers from 37.9 to 45.3 GHz of the output frequency. and its power consumption is 74 mA from 1.2 V power supply.

This paper proposes a stochastic/dynamic routing protocol which aims the minimization of the summation of time average expected power expenditure with buffer stability in mobile ad-hoc 60 GHz wireless networks. By using 60 GHz RF, the wireless devices can transmit/receive 1080p HD video signals without compression. In addition, our algorithm works without centralized controller, so that the distributed operation is available. The novelty of the proposed algorithm was also verified by simulations.
