This paper presents the results of permittivities of various materials by measurements of the dielectric properties for the materials in millimeter-wave band. Since the advantages of millimeter wave band include the miniaturization, weight reduction of component and a lot of information transfer, its study has received increasing attention of researches. Also, because of the characteristics of the band have the superior straightness and the small diffractive, in the band, the analysis for the reflection and transmission characteristics of the materials will be very important. Moreover, a low interference is one of characteristics of the band due to the fact that the millimeter wave is absorbed in the materials. Therefore, in this paper, the reflection and transmission characteristics of materials are measured in the band by using the free space method. Based on the presented result, the permittivities of the materials are derived by the calculation of Nicolson-Ross Weir method.

A new technique for generating millimeter-wave signals from a semiconductor laser is presented. The method multiples the signal frequency by using optical injection of short optical pulses at a sub-harmonic of the cavity round-trip frequency to drive the laser oscillating at its resonant frequency. A 32GHz signal is generated using a multisection semiconductor laser operated under continuous wave conditions, by injection optical pulses at a repetition rate equal to the fourth subhamonic(8GHz). The generated millimeter-wave signal exhibits a large submamonic suppression ratio(＞17 dB), large frequency detuning range (>300 MHz) low levels of phase-noise(-77.5 dBc/Hz), and large locking (>400 MHz)

The neighbor discovery using directional antennas in mmWave band is a prerequisite for communications and this issue is crucial and urgent. In this paper, the synchronized, direct, two-way directional neighbor discovery process is analyzed mathematically for mmWave WPANs. The analysis is based on the values which are derived from the effect of using directional antennas. The neighbor discovery probability for a given amount of time is considered and several performance measures such as the optimal sojourn time are derived in closed forms. Numerical results are obtained using parameters based on the IEEE 802.15.3c. The mathematical analysis provides the theoretical basis for the directional neighbor discovery process.

Millimeter wave (mm-wave) communication systems provide high data rates owing to the large bandwidths available at mm-wave frequencies. Recently, analogue and digital combined beamforming, namely "hybrid beamforming" has drawn attentions owing to its ability to realize the required link margins in mm-wave systems. Taking into account the radio frequency (RF) hardware limitations, such as the analogue phase shifter gain constraint and the low resolution of the phase controller, we introduce an uplink hybrid beamforming system that includes discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based "fixed" analogue beamforming. We adopt a zero-forcing (ZF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalizer to eliminate the uplink inter-user interferences. Moreover, to improve the sum-rate performances, we propose a transmit beam selection algorithm which makes the uplink effective channels, i.e., the beamformed channels, become near orthogonal. The effectiveness of the proposed beam selection algorithm was verified through numerical simulations.

In an effort to compensate the rising of the data throughput demand nowadays, there have been many research works to optimize the radio resource and increase the capacity of the network. At the present, small cell network, mmWave band and beamforming technology are leading the trend and becoming the core solutions of the fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. Since the propagation characteristics of radio wave in the mmWave band is quite different from the conventional bands, the communication systems which work in these bands have to be redesigned. In this paper, a 3D simulation model is discussed for cellular network at 60 GHz in outdoor environments. Coverage analysis and system performance is carried out for a small cell system in the typical urban environment including street canyon simulation scenario. In addition, the beamforming technique is considered to evaluate the throughput improvement. Simulation results show that the mmWave small cell systems is expected to be one of the major candidate technologies to satisfy the requirements of 5G in terms of data rate.

There have been active research efforts in the development of a dual-use millimeter-wave radiometer as an aircraft landing aid in low visibility conditions. In this paper, we constructed a radiometer operating at the Ka-band where it is relatively easy to build RF components. The radiometer is used to collect radiometric signatures of some vehicles and land surfaces. Measured signatures suggest that vehicles with metallic surfaces yield signatures markedly different from nearby land surfaces so that they can easily be detected by a simple radiometer.

In this paper, design of series-fed microstrip antennas with sum and difference patterns is presented for millimeter-wave applications. The antenna was designed to exhibit high-gain and low side-lobe level(SLL) below -20 dB. A conventional transmission-line model, Taylor and Bayliss distributions were employed to determine current distribution for sum and difference patterns. Moreover, connecting lines between microstrip patches were tuned to achieve an optimized design. The measurement was also performed to validate the designed antennas.
