Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications ( Rappaport, T., et al; 2014) [Book review]

This book presents broad information in the area of millimeter wave wireless communications, specifically dealing with communications, circuits, antennas, propagation, and networking and standards. With the proliferation of cellular wireless devices, such as smartphones and the rapid adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the demand for higher wireless bandwidth will only increase. This demand will be further exacerbated by the fact that smartphones are quickly becoming the devices of choice for people to watch multimedia content. The 4G technologies are fast going to reach their limits to satisfy this demand. This has resulted in the search for technologies to help increase the available bandwidth. Millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, wherein communication happens in the spectrum range of 3???30 GHz, appears to be one of the promising technologies.
