MILLIMETER-WAVE PROPAGATION AND SYSTEMS CONSIDERATIONS

Abstract

Applications for millimeter waves are discussed, and it is shown how propagation effects enter into systems considerations for the EHF region. The state of the millimeter-wave art is reviewed as to antennas, sources, amplifiers, and receivers. Highlighted are two applications, a high-resolution radar, which it is hoped can utilize the inherent advantage of the short millimeter wavelengths for resolution, and a space-to-space communication system at EHF.
