Future Applications

  • Chapter
Silicon-Based Millimeter-Wave Devices

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Electronics and Photonics ((SSEP,volume 32))

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.
