The IEEE Cedar Rapids/Central Iowa Section is having a virtual talk that my be of interest.

100-300 GHz Wireless: Transistors, IC’s Systems
Distinguished Microwave Lecture
https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/474809

Date: 11 Apr 2025
Time: 12:00 AM UTC to 01:15 AM UTC (April 10, 7:00 pm CDT)

Prof. Mark Rodwell of Univ. of Calif. Santa Barbara

Topic: Millimeter wave (100-300 GHz) devices and systems for communication and imaging

The opportunities and the research challenges are described for the development of 100-300GHz wireless communications and imaging systems. In such links, short wavelengths permit massive spatial multiplexing both for network nodes and point-point links, permitting aggregate transmission capacities approaching 1Tb/s. 100-300GHz radar imaging systems can provide thousands of image pixels and sub-degree angular resolution from small apertures, supporting foul-weather driving and aviation. Challenges include the mm-wave IC designs, the physical design of the front-end modules, the complexity of the back-end digital beamformer required for spatial multiplexing, and, for imaging, the development of system architectures requiring far fewer RF channels than the number of image pixels. Transistor development, IC design, and system design will be described for our efforts to develop 140GHz massive MIMO wireless hubs, and 210GHz and 280GHz MIMO backhaul links.

It looks like the meeting link will be sent out just before the event, so pre-registration is required. Register before April 10th to get the calendar invite and, eventually, the Zoom link.
