Why do we use MM waves in communication?

In telecommunications, millimeter wave is used for a variety of services on mobile and wireless networks, as it enables higher data rates than at lower frequencies , such as those used for Wi-Fi and current cellular networks. Propagation restrictions dictate the use of small cell sizes for Wi-Fi and cellular networks.

What spectrum is mmWave?

Millimeter wave (MM wave), also known as millimeter band, is the band of spectrum with wavelengths between 10 millimeters (30 GHz) and 1 millimeter (300 GHz) . It is also known as the extremely high frequency (EHF) band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Why is it called millimeter wave?

They are called millimeter waves because they vary in length from 1 to 10 mm , compared to the radio waves that serve today’s smartphones, which measure tens of centimeters in length. Until now, only operators of satellites and radar systems used millimeter waves for real-world applications.

Are mm waves safe?

In humans, MM-waves have penetrating effects including impacts on the brain, producing EEG changes and other neurological/neuropsychiatric changes, increases in apparent electromagnetic hypersensitivity and produce changes on ulcers and cardiac activity .
