Abstract

This paper intends to present a summary of the technical issues arising in the exploitation of the 60 GHz mm-wave band for mobile and personal communications. The most significant applications proposed so far are surveyed, with particular emphasis placed on recent experimentation about millimeter-wave propagation for road/railway transportation as well as indoor scenarios. As a case study, the capacity of a (micro-)cellular Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network in the 60-GHz band is also evaluated in detail.
