Millimeter Wave Antennas, Circuits and Systems in MCM-D Technology

摘要

This work discusses the practical realization, modeling and design of front-ends for emerging (60 GHz WLAN) and next-generation (77 GHz automotive radar) commercial millimeter-wave applications, focusing on IMEC's MCM-D passive integration platform. The MCM-D design and modeling work covers planar and 3D micromachined antenna integration together with fixed frequency and tunable cavity resonators and oscillators. In addition to the work on front-end components, a system level modeling tool was developed to analyze millimeter-wave imagers.
