GiFi is a new wireless technology that operates at 60 GHz frequency band to allow wireless transfer of audio and video data at speeds up to 5 Gbps. It was developed by Professor Stan Skafidas to have higher data transfer rates than Bluetooth and WiFi while using lower power. GiFi uses time-division duplex and its 60 GHz frequency band allows for high integration on a single chip and immunity from interference. It is well-suited for applications in wireless homes, offices, video transfer and more due to its high speeds, security, and small/low-cost devices. GiFi is expected to become the dominant wireless technology within five years.

3. 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.

5. WHY GiFi?
• The common Wireless technologies currently used are:
• Bluetooth
• WiFi
• The disadvantages of existing technologies:
• Slow rate.
• High power consumption.
• Low range of frequency operation.
Gave invention to this new technology.

6. DISADVANTAGES OF BLUETOOTH & WiFi
• The bit rates of Bluetooth is 800 Kbps and Wi-Fi has
maximum of 11 Mbps.
• Both are having power consumptions 5mw and
10mw.
• The lower frequency of operation 2.4GHz.
So, to have higher data transfer rate at lower power
consumption we move onto GiFi technology.

7. GIFI
• GiFi stands for Gigabit Wireless.
• Professor Stan Skafidas of Melbourne University
is the man behind GiFi.
• Worlds first transceiver integrated on a single chip.
• It operates at 60 GHz frequency band .
• Fabricated using the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) process, the same system that is currently used
to print silicon chips.
• Allows wireless transfer of audio and video data at up to 5 gbps.

8. GIFI (cont)
• GiFi has ten times the current maximum wireless transfer rate
at one-tenth of the cost(approximately $10), usually within a
range of 10 meters.
• It satisfies the standards of IEEE 802.15.3C
• It utilizes a 5mm square chip and a 1mm wide antenna burning
less than 2milli watts of power to transmit data.

10. ARCHITECTURE OF GiFi
• The core component of a Gi-Fi system is the subscriber station
which available to several access points .
• It supports standard of IEEE 802.15.3C millimeter-wave
Wireless PAN.
• An 802.15.3C based system often uses small antenna at the
subscriber station.
• It supports line of sight operation.
10

11. WORKING IN GiFi
• Use time division duplex for both transmission and receiving.
• Data files are up converted from IF range to RF60Ghz range by
using 2 mixers.
• Fed this to an power amplifier, which feeds millimeter wave
antenna.
• The incoming RF signal is first down converted to an IF signal
centered at 5 GHz and then to normal data ranges.
• Use heterodyne construction for this process to avoid leakages
due to direct conversion.
• Due to availability of 7 GHz spectrum the total data will be will be
transferred within seconds.

12. TIME-DIVISION DUPLEX
• Time-Division Duplex (TDD) is the application of time-division
multiplexing to separate outward and return signals.
• It emulates full duplex communication over a half duplex
communication link.
• Time division duplex has a strong advantage in the case where
the asymmetry of the uplink and downlink data speed is
variable.
• As uplink traffic increases, more channel capacity can
dynamically be allocated to that, and as it shrinks it can be taken
away.
12

13. WHY 60GHZ?
• This frequency band is currently mostly unused.
• Here we will use millimeter wave antenna which will operate
at 60 GHz frequency which is unlined band.
• Millimeter-wave range of the spectrum makes possible high
component on-chip integration.
• Allows the integration of very small high gain arrays.
• Immunity to co-channel interface.
• High security.
• Frequency re-use.
• Point-to-point wireless systems operating at 60 GHz have been
used for many years for satellite-to-satellite communications.
13

14. WHY 60GHZ? (cont)
• High oxygen absorption at 60GHZ (10-15 dB/Km).
• Absorption attenuates 60 GHz signals over distance, so that
signals cannot travel far beyond their intended recipient.
• 60GHz is an excellent choice for covert communications.

15. 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.
• Zero carrier technique with low coverage area.
15

16. ADVANTAGES
• High speed of data transfer
• Low power consumption
• High security
• Cost effective
• Small size
• Small form factor
• Quick deployment
• Highly portable, high mobility

21. CONCLUSION
• The GiFi integrated transceiver chip is may be launched by
starting of next year by NICTA(National Information and
Communication Technology Research Centre), Australia
• Due to less cost of chip so many companies are looking forward
to launch with lower cost.
• Within five years, we expect GiFi to be the dominant technology
for wireless networking.
• Era of wireless home and office in future.
