Pasternack has recently launched a new 60GHz Tx/Rx waveguide system, including transmitter and receiver modules, designed to operate within the 60GHz frequency range.

On October 1, 2013, Pasternack announced the release of their innovative 60 GHz Waveguide Modules and Development System. This system aims to provide R&D labs, engineers, and developers with a quick and easy way to experiment with 60 GHz technology.

Potential applications include:

  • Point-to-point links (cellular backhaul)
  • GigE wireless LAN (WiGig)
  • Radiometry
  • Uncompressed HD video
  • FMCW 60 GHz radar
  • Scintillometry
  • Campus networks
  • Multi-gigabit remote sensing based wireless communications

Pasternack 60 GHz waveguide Tx Rx

The system operates within the unlicensed frequency spectrum of 57GHz to 64GHz, a millimeter wave ISM band available globally.

Developed in partnership with Vubiq, this 60 GHz RF system simplifies the design of high-bandwidth products. It features a user-friendly GUI for configuration via a USB interface and utilizes a standard WR-15 V-band waveguide interface.

The system supports modulation bandwidths up to 1.8 GHz and is well-suited for developing systems based on 802.11ad, 802.11aj, or any 540MHz/500MHz channel system.
