60 GHz Setup for RF Components Impairments Compensation

Due to the scarcity of spectrum in the microwave bands, currently used for cellular networks, wireless LANs and first generations of vehicular communications, the usage of millimeter bands is envisaged for the future generations of communication systems. In the millimeter bands, the problem of transceiver impairments is even more accentuated, as a result of expected wide signal bandwidth and frequency-dependency of the impairments. In this paper we present a simple setup for the evaluation of transceiver imperfection compensation methods for 60 GHz band.
