Millimeter Wave Communication Networks

Abstract

Millimeter wave (MMW) communication is a key technology to support the high data rate requirements of next generation networks and cope up the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitations of current wireless systems and hence enable a plethora of applications. However, this technology is in its initial development stage, and there are various technical challenges in its practical implementation that need to be addressed before its successful deployment. This paper reviews the state of the art in MMW communications and provides in-depth detail of the basic propagation characteristics of MMWs in different operation scenarios. The paper also analyses the various technical challenges of MMW communication networks envisaged in its implementation and highlights the design choices proposed so far to address these challenges. Finally, some of the potential applications of MMW communications that may emerge in the near future are also discussed.

Innovations and Applications of Millimeter Wave Antennas: A Literature Review

“…To keep up with the ever-increasing data rate demands of wireless systems, bands of frequencies covering an extensive range from 800 MHz to 100 GHz have been assigned for use [6]. The demand for high-speed, seamless wireless solutions has propelled the evolution of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) antenna technology, particularly in the context of 5G and beyond [7,8]. Additionally, for more than a half-century, phased-array antenna technology has made an extensive effect that spans from radar to radio astronomy, and it is set to start a major change in the operation of mobile communications [9].…”
