A low Complexity Wireless Gigabit Ethernet IFoF 60 GHz H/W Platform and Issues

6 pagesInternational audienceThis paper proposes a complete IFoF system architecture derived from simplified IEEE802.15.3c PHY layer proposal to successfully ensure near 1 Gbps on the air interface. The system architecture utilizes low complexity baseband processing modules. The byte/frame synchronization technique is designed to provide a high value of preamble detection probability and a very small value of the false detection probability. Conventional Reed-Solomon RS (255, 239) coding is used for Channel Forward Error Correction (FEC). Good communication link quality and Bit Error Rate (BER) results at 875 Mbps are achieved with directional antennas

Asymmetric Dual-Band UWB / 60 GHz Demonstrator

International audienceThis paper describes a pragmatic approach on the up-conversion of WiMedia compliant UWB signals into the 60 GHz band. This dual band concept is based on propagation measurements at {3.1-10.6} and 60 GHz. Due to stringent frequency regulation, Up-conversion to the 60 GHz band and enhanced baseband parameters can make UWB technology more reliable. An experimental system based on a commercially available UWB development kit and IHPs 60 GHz chip-set has been developed
