The document presents information on Gigabit Fidelity (Gi-Fi), a next generation wireless technology that allows data transfer rates up to 5 gigabits per second over short ranges of around 10 meters. Gi-Fi operates at 60 GHz frequencies using time-division duplex to transmit and receive data. It was developed by Professor Stan Skafidis as an improvement over existing wireless technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that have lower data rates and power consumption. The document discusses Gi-Fi's architecture, working mechanism, advantages, applications and future scope. It is expected to become the dominant wireless networking technology within five years.

4. Introduction
• For many years cables ruled the world.
• Optical fibers played a dominant role for its
higher bit rates and faster transmission.
• But the installation of cables caused a
greater difficulty and thus led to wireless
access.

9. Gi-Fi
 Gi-Fi stands for Gigabit Wireless.
 Worlds first transceiver integrated on a single chip.
 It operates at 60 GHz on the CMOS process.
 Allows wireless transfer of audio and video data at up
to 5 Gbps.
 Gi-Fi has ten times the current maximum wireless
transfer rate usually within a range of 10 meters.

11. Architecture of Gi-Fi
 The core component of a Gi-Fi system is
the subscriber station.
 It supports standard of IEEE 802.15.3C Wireless
PAN.
 An 802.15.3C based system often uses small
antenna at the subscriber station.
 It supports line of sight operation.

13. Working of Gi-Fi
 Use Time Division Duplex for both transmission and receiving.
 Data files are up converted from IF range to RF60 Ghz range
by using 2 mixers.
• Fed this to a power amplifier, which feeds millimeter wave
antenna.

14. Working of Gi-Fi (Cont.)
 The incoming RF signal is first down converted to an IF signal
centered at 5 GHz and then to normal data ranges.

15. Time-division Duplex
 Time-Division Duplex (TDD) is the application
of time-division multiplexing to separate
outward and return signals.

16. Working in 60 Ghz
 This frequency band is currently mostly unused.
 High oxygen absorption at 60GHZ (10-15 dB/Km).
 60GHz is an excellent choice for covert communications.

17. Ultra Wide Band Frequency Usage
 Technology with high bit rate, high security and
faster data transmission.
 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is a technology for
transmitting information spread over a large
bandwidth (>500 MHz) that should, be able to share
spectrum with other users.

18. Advantages of Gi-Fi
• High speed of data transfer
• Low power consumption
• High security
• Cost effective
• Small size
• Highly portable

21. Applications And Future Scope(Con.)
 Broadcasting video signal transmission system in sports
stadium.
 Inter-vehicle communication
system.
 Internet access in Railway
coaches.
 Wireless PAN Network.

22. Conclusion
 The Gi-Fi integrated transceiver chip will be launched by
starting of next year by NICTA, Australia.
 Due to less cost of chip so many companies like Intel, LG,
Matsushita (Panasonic), NEC, Samsung, Si-BEAM, Sony
and Toshiba etc. are looking forward to launch with lower
cost.
 Within five years, we expect GiFi to be the dominant
technology for wireless networking.
