The Gigabit Low-cost Integrated Millimeter-wave Radio (GLIMMR) project, was the brainchild of [[Neil H. E. Weste]] and was focused on the research and development of a single-chip 60 GHz transceiver with integral antenna. Neil's vision for the commercial space, which such a chip can fulfill, was for short high-data rate links, for applications such as transfer of video from a mobile device to a computer or for wireless backup of large amounts of data. Neil envisioned this as an extension of the Bluetooth concept to very high data-rates and dubbed this new paradigm ''Bluefang''. Other possible application spaces are wireless home video, point-to-point backbone links, low cost radars, and mm-wave imaging. The original team was [[Anthony Parker|Anthony E. Parker]], [[Derek Abbott]], [[William G. Cowley]], and [[Neil H. E. Weste]] who together were Chief Investigators on [[ARC Linkage Grant]] LP0560715 entitled ''Millimetre Wave Communication Systems for Consumer Applications.'' The ARC component of the funding was $450,000 ''per annum'' for three years 2005-2007. The total cash funding including contributions from partners and the ARC was $1.6 million. On award of the grant, the team rapidly expanded and two SiGe test chips were designed, fabricated, and tested. This page is a historical record of the achievements, and also documents further follow-on work in the 60 GHz regime carried out at the University of Adelaide. ==The Glimmr team== The original 'Glimmrites' and Chief Investigators (CIs) on the winning ARC proportional were [[Anthony Parker|Anthony E. Parker]], [[Derek Abbott]], [[William G. Cowley]], [[Neil H. E. Weste]], and on award of the $1.6 million grant the team rapidly expanded to take on the following structure. ===Glimmr leader=== * [[Neil H. E.
