Sommario
5G technology is coming and it's expected to provide data to a larger number of users, with higher data rates in relation with previous generations. In order to improve data rates it is necessary to increase the spectral efficiency of the system, but also the supported bandwidth. This directs the view to the millimeter wave bands (20-300 GHz), where it is possible to find available bandwidth in the order of a few GHz. This seminars aims to provide a general overview of the main issues, challenges and benefits of the use of the millimeters wave spectrum for wireless communication and particularly for 5G
