An article has been published in IEEE Access (free, open access IEEE publication) on a 60 GHz front-end for USRP N2000/N210. There’s a video on the abstract page, and a link to the pdf of the article. the video demonstrates 2x2 MIMO using linear polarization: > **[Open Source SDR Frontend and Measurements for 60-GHz Wireless Experimentation](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7072470/?arnumber=7072470)** > > This paper aims to make 60-GHz experimentation possible for a wider range of research groups. We do this by describing a low-cost front-end that can be used in combination with any baseband processing platform. We provide detailed instructions and... The authors state they have released the hardware T/R and controlling software as open source. However I’ve not been able to yet locate that file: open\_source\_60GHz.tar.gz which is said to be located in a supplemental file released with the article. – Tom, N5EG ---

Per has been an active member on this list for a long time, maybe has something to add to this (CC’d in case the first message got lost). Per, any chance the paper will be available minus the paywall? In any case, this looks pretty nifty! Cheers, Martin ---

Thanks for the interest! I don’t know why the file open\_source\_60GHz.tar.gz isn’t there. I sent it multiple times during the review and publishing process. Also the second author Ramin Fardi of bluewave microsystems isn’t properly credited as an author on the webpage. Without him the work would not have been possible. If you want the file, open\_source\_60GHz.tar.gz, send me an email off-list ([removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)) and I will give you a link where you can download it.
