Abstract

The purpose of this letter is to demonstrate the high potentiality in terms of data rate and multiple access of a novel 60-GHz WLAN architecture for smart objects and indoor communication systems. This approach is based on the up-conversion of an ultrawide-bandwidth impulse radio signal (IR-UWB) in the 60-GHz frequency range to benefit of the natural advantages of the UWB technique while avoiding the baseband limitations. First results about the pulse generator and receiver architecture are discussed.
