Description of Terminology:
Millimeter wave
The term millimeter wave refers to radio waves between the 30GHz and 300GHz bandwidths and is used because its wavelength is approximately 10mm (30GHz) to 1mm (300GHz).
While featuring strong radio wave linearity and capable of increased communication data capacity, millimeter waves are vulnerable to phenomena such as shielding or rain.
