Abstract
Microwave is a descriptive term used to identify electromagnetic waves in the frequency spectrum ranging approximately from 1 GHz (wavelength \( \lambda \) = 30 cm) to 300 GHz (\( \lambda \) = 1 mm). For wavelength from 1.00 to 0.3 mm, i.e. for frequencies 300–1000 GHz, the EM waves are called millimetre waves (Fig. 1.1) and sub-millimetre waves.
