Companies Focusing On Developing Millimeter-wave Communication Chips

Looks like Japanese manufacturers (Hitachi, Panasonic and Toshiba) are gearing up to develop their own millimeter-wave communication ICs. They’re independently developing 60GHz-waveband radio frequency (RF) transceiver ICs, and whether everything goes according to plan, the first products could seem as early as the second half of 2010. The benefit of the 60GHz band is that it can utilize a frequency bandwidth of about 7GHz, allowing it to guarantee high-speed throughput in terms of Gbit/s. With the

release of audio-visual equipment such as TVs that actually use millimeter waves, it’s not too surprising to see manufacturers starting to work on that. We’re certainly looking forward to a wireless world.
