ABSTRACT
The increasing worldwide demands for a variety of information and communication services required by different types of wireless communication, wireless sensor network, Internet of things and future fifth-generation wireless communication greatly prompt the development of contemporary wireless communication systems. However, tremendous growth in wireless communications has greatly crowded the frequency spectrum, which may transfer into a higher likelihood of user interference with one another. The brief applications of the millimeter-wave frequency bands are arranged for vehicular radar, military and communication applications like point-to-point wireless links and radar systems. The commercial silicon-based process faces challenges, especially high substrate loss and metal loss for millimeter-wave IC design and implementation. The core of this development is in the system on chip (SOC) design, which involves digital, analog, and millimeter- wave design with full consideration of circuit, electromagnetic, and material characteristics. The chapter also presents an overview of the book.
