Abstract:Over the last two decades, the capability and implementation of mm-wave point-to-point radios has changed almost beyond recognition. A manually-tuned, waveguideaficionado's delight has evolved into a highly manufacturable, field programmable terminal with lower cost, higher performance and much greater utility. These changes have depended largely on the availability and performance of GaAs Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (MMICs). Waveguide mounted diodes of various types have been replaced by highly i… Show more
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.
