The text on Millimeter-Wave Antenna Technology brings forward the state of the art in antennas designed for millimeter-wave applications. The spectrum from 30 to 300 GHz is recognized as millimeter-wave, and frequency bands at 60 and 77 GHz are of particular interest, with major applications such as short-range communications and automotive radar.

The drive toward 60 GHz wireless communications is a result of the major potential benefits offered by implementing systems in this band, two of which are miniaturization and a significant improvement on data rates compared to the 2.4 and 5 GHz systems used today. Aside from commercial applications, millimeter-wave systems are beneficial in defense applications as well, with short-range radars and communication networks being two areas of interest. Given the development of new integrated circuit technologies, miniaturized nodes, there are newer alternatives to implement mm-Wave systems on-chip and on-package. These implementation methodologies include the possibility for on-package antennas.

This text aims to provide a comprehensive research results on recent advances in this field, and several popular types of antennas are considered. Peripheral circuitry such as switches and feed networks are mentioned, and some of the challenges related to millimeter-wave design are discussed.
