Millimeter-Wave Communication Systems

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems operate at extremely high frequencies, offering vast bandwidths capable of supporting ultra-high data rates. This track explores the unique characteristics of mmWave propagation, including high path loss, limited diffraction, and susceptibility to blockage. Participants will examine system design considerations such as channel modeling, hardware constraints, and transceiver architectures necessary to overcome these challenges and fully exploit mmWave potential.

The track also focuses on practical applications of mmWave communications in 5G and beyond, including fixed wireless access, dense urban deployments, and backhaul networks. Advanced techniques such as beamforming, beam tracking, and adaptive modulation are discussed as key enablers. By addressing both challenges and solutions, this track provides a comprehensive perspective on how mmWave technologies are transforming next-generation wireless communication systems.
