Abstract
During the past decade, new wireless technologies have continued to arouse enormous research interest both in industry and in academia. Technological evolution has simultaneously continued to be rapid. At the moment, there exist a host of new wireless applications that have emerged on the consumer market or are currently under development. As a consequence, wireless access to the Internet is part of our everyday life and the third-generation cellular systems, such as WCDMA, provide broadband multimedia services (up to tens of Mbps) to mobile users. Despite the notable progress achieved by far, one of the current trends is to strive for ever-higher data rates, even with reduced operating ranges. Two examples of such a development trend are the WiMedia UWB and 60-GHz radio technologies. The former targets throughputs of up to 480 Mbps and the latter of over 1 Gbps over short distances. Both technologies are thus suitable candidates for future high-speed wireless personal area network (WPAN) applications and the latter may also be used in wireless local area network (WLAN) applications.
