The move up the electromagnetic spectrum (EM) into millimeter waves (MMW) is proving to be a double-edged sword. System designers eager to leverage wider bandwidths and incredibly


high data throughputs must also contend with a host of new challenges. Of amplified importance – particularly between 75-330 GHz – is the issue of attenuation.
