Abstract

This chapter focuses on placing millimeter-wave transceiver packaging research in the context of telecommunications. It is set to complement the fundamental transceiver theory introduced in Chap. 1. The chapter starts by expanding on the significance of short wavelengths touched on in Chap. 1, followed by an analysis of the millimeter-wave part of the frequency spectrum and various transmission bands available for millimeter-wave transmission.
