5G Advanced Microwave Materials for Millimeter-wave Devices

Demand for mobile data, the implementation of new wireless devices, and an explosion of mobile users has stressed our telecommunications infrastructure to its limits. Naturally, engineers have pushed existing devices and networks to ever-increasing frequencies in an effort to address this multifaceted problem by improving data rates and adding spectrum. With the march to higher frequencies, there is a growing clamor that conventional materials and characterization techniques are not up to the challenge. For example, commercial tu...
