Monolithic integrated millimeter-wave circuits based on silicon and SiGe are emerging as an attractive option in the field of millimeter-wave communications and millimeterwave sensorics. The combination of active devices with passive planar structures, including also antenna elements, allows single-chip realizations of complete millimeter-wave front-ends. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art...

The spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHz is referred to as the millimeter wave band because the wavelengths for these frequencies are about one to ten millimeters. Millimeter wave propagation has its own peculiarities. This paper reviews the characteristics of millimeter wave propagation, including free space propagation and the effects of various physical factors on propagation. It was created ...

A fiber-optic broadband signal distribution link based on a millimeter-wave self-heterodyne transmission/optical remote heterodyne detection technique was developed. To avoid having to use expensive optical and millimeter-wave devices to construct a frequency-stable fiber-optic millimeter-signal transmission system, a millimeter-wave self-heterodyne transmission technique was used, in which tra...

The efficacy and safety of millimeter wave radiation has been proven for various types of malignant tumors. However, the mechanisms underlying effects of millimeter wave radiation on apoptosis are still unclear. The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of millimeter wave radiation on cell apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potenti...

In this paper, the research advances in silicon based millimeter wave and THz ICs in the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves is reviewed, which consists of millimeter wave amplifiers, mixers, oscillators at Q, V and W and D band based on CMOS technology, and several research approaches of THz passive ICs including cavity and filter structures using SIW-like (Substrate Integrated Waveguide-...

The IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers) Transactions on Electronics announces a forthcoming special section on "Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Technology" to be published in October 2016. With the recent and rapid growth of wireless applications (5G, WLAN, WPT system, millimeter-wave radar, sensor), there are increasing demands of high performance/small size...

Metallo-dielectric electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures are studied in the millimeter regime with a finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulator. Several EBG waveguiding structures are considered for millimeter-wave power splitting, switching and filtering operations. It is demonstrated that triangular EBG structures lend themselves naturally to the design of Y-power splitters. Square EBG...
