The Impact Of Emerging Technologies On Wireless Communications

As we: approach the end of this century, wireless communication is becoming the most. pervasive and fastest growing technology. The major cause for this growth is a common need of individuals, industry, government and defense for rapid exchange of information and access to data bases. We expect that the growth will be further enhanced by the creation of the information super highway and the development of an intelligent vehicle highway system (IVHS). Microwave and millimeter-wave technology will play a crucial role in the realization of wireffree and fiberless links that will link people to people and people to machines at an affordable cost, thus enhancing economic development and growth.
