Nov. 2017 Opcomm Location: MEC 202J Boise, Idaho 83725

Adaptive beam-forming antennas open a new venue for research to achieve higher data rates. Such antennas are of interest at higher frequencies in particular at millimetric-Waves. Millimetric-Waves frequency ranges from 30 GHz – 300 GHz and there is ample bandwidth available in this spectrum. Higher frequencies have significant scattering which causes higher path loss. Due… Read more →
