Abstract
The 60 GHz band is an attractive candidate for high data-rate applications, where up to 9 GHz of unlicensed band is available. The IEEE802.15.3c and ECMA-387 standards in the US and Europe regulate this frequency band for high data-rate short-range communication. The high signal loss at 60 GHz suggests using multiple antenna paths for high output power, directive communication. Phase shifts can also be utilized to steer the beem in different directions. This chapter gives an idea about the motivation and target application of this work.

Notes
- 1.
EHF is an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) radio band symbol. It is also equivalent to the ITU radio band number 11, which is the highest till the time of writing this book.
- 2.
ECMA is more related to European standardization.
