Workshop Abstract:

The presentations in this workshop will cover different aspects of 60GHz radio links. The morning session will open with a discussion of the applications of 60GHz radios followed by an overview of the main challenges of mmW integration. Then, several speakers will present example solutions in both CMOS and SiGe technologies.
