Abstract
For system applications, the mm-wave frequency range overlaps, on the one hand, with standard microwave frequencies and, on the other hand, with the optical or IR range. Compared to microwave frequencies, mm-waves offer
-
— additional wide frequency bands for new applications.
-
— Smaller antenna dimensions for a given gain or higher gain for fixed antenna dimensions.
-
— Small component size combined with low weight.
-
— High data rates or spread-spectrum transmission in communication systems.
-
— High resolution of angle, range and Doppler frequencies in radar systems.
