Near term and future applications of millimetre waves to wireless systems

Abstract

As the technology that has been created for the cold war becomes more generally available the millimetre band will be more accessible, The applications that can be developed are based on the successful system MILSTAR. It is possible to develop everything from fixed, to multi-point, to mobile. Applications can be both indoor and outdoor. Areas that are being exploited currently are short haul, wireless ATM and collision avoidance radar.
