60GHz device supporting WiGig and IEEE802.11ad specs developed by Panasonic

Panasonic Corporation has developed a 60GHz multi-gigabit wireless communication technology that is optimized for mobile devices, and supports the WiGig specification and/or the IEEE802.11ad draft specification. This multi-gigabit wireless communication technology consists of a 60GHz transceiver and a baseband processor, which is integrated individually onto a CMOS semiconductor chips through circuit technologies optimized for mobile devices. When wireless LANs operates using these 60GHz semiconductor devices, the speed is 20 times faster than existing wireless LANs.

The features of this technology as per Panasonic includes:
The world's lowest noise signal generator (-95dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset frequency) enables high sensitivity wireless performance. The transceiver has been integrated into a CMOS chip, which leads to miniaturization of the mobile devices.
Forward error correction (FEC) code is indispensable to maintain reliability in high-speed wireless communication. In this technology, the circuit size of decoding block is 30% smaller than that of Panasonic's conventional architectures by optimizing decoding circuits. This reduction results in lower power consumption.
The chipset supports the WiGig specification, which is going to be an industry standard for a multi-gigabit, short range wireless communication system. It will provide reliable interoperability among various devices.
A unique multiband voltage controlled oscillator technology, which achieves excellent phase noise while covering over 9GHz frequency bandwidth required by the WiGig specifications.
A FEC decoding circuit technology, which enables the use of common functional units to handle various error correction codes specified in the WiGig and at the same time achieves low power by reducing the circuit complexity and the operation frequency.

On this development, Panasonic holds 16 domestic patents and 16 overseas patents, including pending applications.
This development will be presented at ICC 2011 (International Conference on Communications 2011) to be held at the Kyoto International Conference Hall, Japan from June 5 to 9, 2011.
This new technology was partly supported by "The research and development project for expansion of radio spectrum resources" of The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Japan.
