Abstract
Millimeter and sub-millimeter waves have been attracting intensive research for quite some time. It has extended from high-cost niche applications, mostly related to military, radio astronomy and space applications, to embrace widespread new consumer applications, some of which with strong potential for mass market. The opportunity for these bands is in part created by the spectrum availability, high spectral capacity to offer extremely high data rates or high resolution, and the inherent potential for miniaturization, lightweight and low-cost of the front-end.
