2nd generation of millimetre-wave point-to-point digital systems

Until now, UK has been the primary market for millimetre-wave point-to-point digital links, corresponding to a first generation of systems. At present, the millimetre-wave market is enlarging its borders to other European countries while evolving. The market evolution is analysed together with the evolution of the corresponding technology. The analysis leads to the identification of new features and of a new architecture for the design of millimetre-wave systems, which are the basis of 2nd generation systems developed by Alcatel
