The Empfasis is on Millimeter Wave Imaging Technologies for Active Radar Enhancements and Silicon Carbide-Based Power Factor Corrected AC to DC Converter.

Millimeter wave (mmW) technology is playing an increasing role in a variety of industries. With the ability to penetrate atmospheric conditions, mmW can handle satellite-ground communications or ground relay communications. Control and guidance operations are enhanced with improved communication for long-range missiles or spacecraft reentering the atmosphere [1]. A current use of mmW technology is in airport safety providing whole-body scanning for the detection of threats under layers of clothing. Speaking of clothing, mmW imaging can be used to create a 3D body scan for the retail fashion industry, providing virtual clothing and individualized tailoring before going to print.
