The Role of Millimeter Wave Technology in Enhancing Wireless Communication

Millimeter wave is a kind of electromagnetic technology used in various products such as phones, cars, medical devices, and others to ensure wireless broadband communications at a higher speed. It is known as extremely high frequency (EHF) because it presents signal spectrum ranges from 30GHz to 300GHz with a wavelength between 1 and 10 mm. Moreover, millimeter wave technology provides security for communication transmission.

The advancement in wireless technologies such as high-speed communication, high bandwidth, high-resolution videos and carrying large amounts of data influences the demand for millimeter wave technology due to its capability to enable 5G networks. Technological advances in digital networks connect a number of devices and sensors, which ensures advances in various smart technologies such as cars, smartphones, medical devices, and others. Therefore, the rise in penetration of mobile devices from consumer electronics influences the demand for 5G networks, which further increases the need for millimeter wave technology globally.

However, the adverse impact of millimeter wave technology on the environment presents a significant restraint for the widespread adoption of millimeter wave technology. Rapid deployment of 5G network is one of the key requirements in the millimeter wave technology. The 5G network uses high band frequencies for faster communication, that is, millimeter wave technology
