Millimeter wave, also known as extremely high frequency (EHF) or very high frequency (VHF), is the band of spectrum between 30 gigahertz (GHz) and 300 GHz. These waves are named so because their wavelengths range from 1 millimeter to 10 millimeters. Previously, millimeter waves were mainly used in military and satellite communication applications. However, this technology has been gaining traction in mobile and telecom applications, mainly for 5G. In the context of wireless communication, millimeter waves generally refer to bands of the spectrum of around 38 GHz, 60 GHz, and 94 GHz.
