V-band communication crosslink systems are being developed to take advantage of high atmospheric-attenuation characteristics. Because of strict weight, volume, and cost constraints of modem satellites, MMIC technology was chosen over conventional MIC approaches to deliver lighter, smaller, and higher performance communication systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
