Survey on Microwave frequency V Band: Characteristics and challenges

This paper presents the characteristics of V band frequency range of Microwave band in electromagnetic spectrum. The paper also identifies the challenges using this band in applications. The lower microwave frequency band of 2-3 GHz is used in wireless applications. Wi-Fi, Wi-Max and cellular frequencies are quite familiar using in the lower band of microwave frequency band. However, the congestion of the frequency band in this lower frequency band invoked researchers to think a higher frequency microwave band lies between 57 GHz-64 GHz band. The wireless application can utilize this unlicensed frequency band. However signal absorption, fast fading of signals in long range communication, also transceiver design architectures complexity pose great challenges in this higher band. Applications of short range such as military applications utilize this band. However, thinking a new dimension of characteristic features of microwave upper band is the focus of this paper. This paper tells the V Band, that is upper band of microwave range frequencies (57 - 64 GHz).
