This article discusses 60 GHz RF channels, including channel-1, channel-2, channel-3, and channel-4. It also covers 60 GHz frequency allocations in various regions such as the US, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and China.
What is 60GHz?
Let’s dive into the specifics of the 60 GHz frequency band:
- This frequency resides within the millimeter wave range (30 GHz to 300 GHz) of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- The 60 GHz band has been globally adopted as an unlicensed band, specifically from 57 to 66 GHz, for commercial wireless communication.
- The wavelength at 60 GHz is approximately 0.5 centimeters.
- It is also known as the V-band frequency.
- It’s primarily used for low-power, short-distance communication applications.
- There are four commonly used channels, each with roughly 2 GHz of bandwidth.
