Advances in millimeter-wave subsystems in Japan
Abstract
The authors describe the development trends and results of millimeter-wave systems in Japan in such fields as communication, radar, and measurement systems. The applications included are the W-40G waveguide transmission communication system, an automobile traffic control system using the 60-GHz band, a collison avoidance radar system for an automobile, a plasma electron density measuring system, and satellite communication. The authors describe the development of devices such as high-power FET amplifiers, traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs), IMPATT amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) devices used in constructing the millimeter-wave systems.
