There has been a general trend of radio and sensing applications shifting to higher frequencies, either to avoid interference due to the growing use of RF and microwave spectrum or to take advantage of the growing accessibility of millimeter-wave hardware. This is true for consumer, industrial, military, aerospace, and satellite communications applications alike. Regardless of ..

The rise of emerging millimeter-wave applications has begun to change the landscape of millimeter-wave device and system testing. In previous years, millimeter-wave applications were the purview of scientific research, military/defense, and satellite communications. These applications are typically comfortable with low-volume production, high single-unit costs, long lead times, custom solutions, and labor-intensive testing/quality/verification methods. Unlike previous ..

The next generation of mobile wireless technologies (5G), RF imaging, and even radar will be leveraging upper microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies for high data rate communications and sensing applications. The U.S. FCC and ITR have already investigated several upper microwave and millimeter-wave bands for use for these applications, and intense international investment has been gaining ..
