Abstract
The millimeter-wave region of the electromagnetic spectrum is commonly defined as the 30- to 300-GHz frequency band or the 1-cm to 1-mm wavelength range. Utilization of this frequency band for the design of data transmission and sensing systems has a number of advantages:
-
1
The very large bandwidth resolves the spectrum crowding problem and permits communication at very high data rates.
-
2
The short wavelength allows the design of antennas of high directivity but reasonable size, so that high-resolution radar and radiometric systems and very compact guidance systems become feasible.
-
3
Millimeter waves can travel through fog, snow, and dust much more readily than infrared or optical waves.
-
4
Finally, millimeter-wave transmitters and receivers lend themselves to integrated and, eventually, monolithic design approaches, resulting in rf heads which are rugged, compact, and inexpensive.
