Sony manages wireless data transfer at 11Gbps

At the first glance 11Gbps seems a transfer speed beyond imagination, and so it is. But to enlighten all you excited fellas, the blistering speed, being tested by Sony, isn’t meant for the home network, but is being readied for high speed wireless data transfer inside electronics, which would replace the use of wires and circuits efficiently.

In the testing phase, Sony has managed 11Gbps transfer speed in just 14mm distance using antennas approximately 1mm in size and 70mW of power. For this the developers have embedded highly energy efficient millimeter-wave circuits on 40nm-CMOS-LSIs, with everything including the transmitter and receiver measuring just 0.13mm2.

With the rise in the amount of data transferred within the devices, there is a surmounting need of circuits and wires inside the electronics, which can cope with the data, thus resulting in complicated integrated circuits. A wireless connectivity with really high speeds is the only vital solution, which would help minimize the increasing physical circuits and IC usage and thus make electronics quicker and more compact.

Sony will present the wireless data transfer technology at the ongoing International Soild State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) 2010, in San Francisco.
