✦ Synopsis

frequencies are typically less than 1mm in size and can be directly integrated with the radio transceiver electronics, resulting in very compact (~mm 2 ) single chip radio solutions, ideal for communicating over short distances in autonomous distributed sensor network applications.

Many millimetre-wave applications are in the areas of sensing and imaging. Here the system sensitivity is fundamentally determined by the performance of the electronics immediately following the antenna. In many cases, array-based solutions are the preferred option for rapid scanning and improved spatial resolution.
