The roots of the millimeter wave technology date back to the 1960s when PNNL researchers pioneered the development of optical and acoustic holography-the foundation of the millimeter wave technology. In the mid-1980s, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) became interested in the potential this technology had for scanning people passing through airports and the first patent was issued in 1995.
