Session 1: Monolithic Millimeter-Wave Circuits

Current activity for millimeter-wave circuits is focusing on applications within the frequency range from about 30 GHz to 100 GHz. This activity is driven, for defense purposes, by four generic areas of application: 1) radar (e.g., fire-control) ; 2) communications (e.g., ground-satellite and satellite-satellite); 3) missile seekers (active and passive); and 4) electronic warfare (e.g., surveillance).
