Patent ID: 7840186

Claim:
A wireless data transfer system comprising: a first wireless data transfer device, comprising: a first hard disk; a first hard disk interface, wherein the first hard disk interface is configured to retrieve first read data from the first hard disk and is configured to create a first bit serial signal from the retrieved first read data, wherein the first bit serial signal conforms to a protocol selected from the group consisting of serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) protocol and serial attached small computer system interface (SAS) protocol; and a first communication module configured to operate at a selected carrier frequency greater than 50 GHz, comprising: a first transmitter configured to operate at an effective isotropic radiated power level less than or equal to 40 dBm, configured to receive the first bit serial signal from the first hard disk interface, configured to modulate the first bit serial signal using amplitude shift keying modulation to substantially create directly a first signal, and configured to transmit the first signal.
