60 Ghz Modular Antenna Array Link Budget Estimation With Wigig Baseband And Millimeter-Wave Specific Attenuation

This paper provides practical 60GHz link budget estimation results with IEEE 802.11ad standard-defined parameters and 60GHz specific attenuation factors. In addition, the parameters from currently developing modular antenna arrays (MAAs) are adopted for estimating the actual link budgets of our 60GHz integrated MAA platforms. Based on the practical link budget analysis results, we can estimate fundamental limits in terms of achievable data rates over 60GHz millimeter-wave wireless links.
