Printed millimeter-wave (mmW) electronics have been of high interest in the field of communications for some time now due to the potential ability to fabricate mmW systems that utilize 3-D heterogeneous integration (3DHI) to improve performance beyond traditional systems. In this article, a method for fabricating transferable mmW structures via aerosol-jet printing (AJP) is presented. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp-assisted liftoff procedure is developed to separate the printed part from a rigid printing support surface and apply it to an adhesive target surface. Several microstrip (MS) line structures are demonstrated to characterize the effect of stamp transfer on the RF performance of the printed circuits. The effects of printed vias on RF probe pads and shifts in the resonant frequencies of a Beatty standard line after transfer are considered and characterized using S-parameter measurements.

This article proposes a high-selectivity bandpass filter-integrated single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch based on switchable dual-mode hybrid resonators. To solve the intrinsic conflict between the high ON-state loss and high OFF-state suppression (OSS), a switchable dual-mode hybrid resonator with two resonant modes constructed by 16-mode SIW, microstrip stub, and PIN diode is proposed. The PIN diode loaded on the open end of the 16-mode SIW is used to switch the resonant state. To enhance the isolation between the ON and OFF channels, a common coupled feed line is used to provide two identical coupling paths, mitigating the impedance impact from the OFF-state channel. In addition, by adjusting the structural parameters of the proposed resonator, the transmission zeros (TZs) of the switch can be controlled independently. For theoretical analysis, the equivalent circuit modeling for the SPDT switch is investigated. Based on the equivalent circuit, the frequencies of TZs are calculated. For experimental verification, the second-order BPF-integrated SPDT switch at center frequency $f_{0} =4.9$
