Millimeter wave (MMW) radar does not represent a specific radar application but a class of radars that operates over the range of frequencies from 30 GHz to 300 GHz. This corresponds to wavelengths measured in millimeters, hence the name. While the first MMW systems were large and bulky, today's systems have higher effective output powers and greater efficiencies in extremely small packages. This paper presents the unique capabilities and challenges presented by the use of MMW for target detection, tracking, and identification in the current environment for both the defense and commercial market sectors. Implementations and examples are provided along with key operating considerations.
