mmW Technology — This class details mmW technology and implementation for the front-end radio frequency (RF) antenna, transmitter, and receiver subsystems of radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems. Topics include: 1) mmW technology for antennas (active vs passive), single high-power transmitters, T/R modules, and receivers (narrowband and wideband); 2) mmW phenomenology, propagation/atmospheric effects with an understanding of these effects influences system operations and a designer's choices. The attendees will learn what unique items to look for in a system block diagram, system design with unique components, and polarization choices for assessing system performance capabilities. The attendees will also develop an understanding of identifying indications/warnings of a mmW system from limited information and how the design choices impact system operation in mmW with the best practices for mmW RF systems.
