MM Waves
Hittite Microwave has released the HMC6000/6001 highly integrated silicon transceiver chipset which targets 60 GHz applications such as: metrocell/picocell backhaul, WiGig (IEEE 802.11ad) multi-Gbps solutions including wireless cable replacement (HDMI, USB 3.0, DisplayPort), wireless docking stations, video/magazine kiosks and wireless sensors. The chipset not only solves many of the key technical challenges encountered at millimeterwave frequencies, but also enables turnkey multi-Gbps communication links at 60 GHz. Low frequency baseband signals are directly translated to and from 60 GHz, minimizing the need for expensive or complex millimeterwave interconnection components on the printed circuit board.
