Hi List,

Ramin Fardi at Bluewave microsystems and myself Per Z. have  
developed a 60GHz front-end (and code) for use with SDRs in particular  
USRP. The design is completely open. We will publish full documentation  
on it in a few weeks (I am just trying to get the paper finally finished  
:-), as well as measurement results. Here is a youtube video including  
MIMO demonstration (first ever MIMO spatial multiplexing demo at  
60GHz?):
