This paper reports for the fi rst time on a novel 57-64GHz point-to-multipoint WLAN system, which is installed into an aircraft cabin mock-up. All the system components, from the RF-chip-set, the LTCC-integrated antennas and modules, to the baseband and application software were specifically developed for this application. In addition, the integration of these system components into a passenger aircraft cabin mock-up (ceiling and seat-integration) as well as successful system performance tests were carried out.
This paper provides an overview of the research carried on in the EASY-A project concerning the design of antennas for different applications in the unlicensed band around 60 GHz, and their integration into compact RF front-ends. Different antenna configurations, in conventional microwave substrate and low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC), were studied and fabricated. The results comply with the requirements established for various scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
