Signal interference occurs in the unlicensed bands, especially in areas where the number of users increases rapidly to saturation point. One of the key advantages of using millimetre wave communication technology is the large amount of spectral bandwidth available, especially in the licensed/light-licensed E-band (70/80 GHz). With wide channel bandwidth available, millimetre wave wireless links […]
