microwave and millimeter wave
Microwave and millimeter wave technologies are integral components of modern wireless communication systems. Microwaves, with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter, are primarily used for point-to-point communication, broadcasting, and radar systems. Millimeter waves, on the other hand, are a subset of the microwave frequency range, typically referring to wavelengths between 1 to 10 millimeters. They are known for their high-frequency capabilities and are employed in a variety of applications due to their small wavelength and large bandwidth. The main functions of these waves include data transmission, imaging, and remote sensing. Technological features include high gain antennas, compact and lightweight devices, and the ability to carry large amounts of data. Their applications span across telecommunications, automotive radar, satellite communication, and even in medical equipment for procedures like microwave ablation.
