Invited: Millimeter wave integrated circuits

Recent applications of millimeter waves will be described. These include high data rate communications, low altitude radar, obstacle avoidance, imaging and fog penetration, radiometry and radiometric imaging. The state-of-the-art of solid-state devices from 10-300 GHz will also be discussed. To reduce costs, which are a significant problem, several approaches to millimeter wave ICs are presently being pursued and will be compared.
