millimeter wave
Millimeter wave technology refers to the utilization of radio waves with frequencies ranging from 30 to 300 gigahertz. These waves are characterized by their short length, high frequency, and broad bandwidth, enabling them to carry vast amounts of data at incredible speeds. The main functions of millimeter waves include high-speed wireless communication, radar systems, and satellite communications. Technological features of millimeter waves involve their ability to propagate through the atmosphere with minimal interference and their capacity for highly directional transmission, which reduces the likelihood of signal degradation. Their applications span across telecommunications, where they facilitate 5G networks, to medical imaging, where they are used in MRI machines, and even to airport security scanners.
