Development of Millimeter-Wave Intra-connection Wireless Technology by SONY
Millimeter waves are electromagnetic waves with a frequency range of between 30GHz to 300GHz, and wavelength between 1mm to 10mm. With their inherent high frequency, millimeter waves are best suited for ultra high speed data transfer. Their advantage goes further through their ability of transferring data in such high speed with use of very small antennas. With today’s multi-functional electronic equipments there is an increasing amount of internal data transfer which wired connected approach will soon its limit in data capacity, requiring an additional circuitry to accommodate a larger data transfers, however this approach will result in increasingly complex IC packages, intricately printed circuit boards not to mention a larger IC sizes. Millimeter wireless technology offers a promising choice in fulfilling this need. Base on this technology and in the face of coming shortage in data capacity, Sony made an announcement on development of millimeter wave wireless intra-connection technology capable of high speed wireless data transfer inside electronic products such as television sets.

The industry’s first Digital Broadcasting Transmission System using millimeter-wave by SHARP
Sharp Corporation made an announcement on development of millimeter-wave modules targeted for outdoor use capable of wirelessly transmitting BS / CS / digital terrestrial broadcasting. The new system is capable of wirelessly receiving BS / CS / digital terrestrial broadcasting from the antenna installed on the roofs of a buildings and apartments. Using the newly developed systems eliminates any needs for having a complicated and large scale repair/ wiring work , just install a receiver on the balcony or roof. Sharp has developed this new system based on the company’s know how on developing high frequency devices such as (Low Noise Block) converter radio transmissions devices for Satellite broadcasting and tuner modules for digital broadcasting.
