This paper proposes a compact antenna package in low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for 60 GHz wireless transmission of uncompressed video. A 60 GHz active phased-array antenna is realized in the package by integrating 4 open-waveguide antenna elements at the top of the package with a 60 GHz CMOS chip at the bottom of the package. The LTCC build-up was designed to provide low interconnection loss between antenna elements and chip (insertion loss<1 dB), good antenna performance in the full unlicensed 60 GHz band (gain>5.3 dBi) and excellent shielding of the bottom side of the package containing the CMOS chip from the radiation emerging from the top side of the package (>40dB suppression). The low backside radiation allows the direct ball-grid array assembly of the package on a printed circuit-board. Only passive antenna arrays and interconnect lines were fabricated and tested in this paper. Separate transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) modules were also designed in this package. Both modules have a size of only 9.5 × 9.5 × 0.8 mm3. The flip-chip assembly of the CMOS chip on the package is still under fabrication.

This paper demonstrates the concept of a field-programmable filter array which can be configured in the field after fabrication. The proposed array is composed of tunable resonators and can have multiple functionalities by rerouting signals from input ports to output ports. Signal rerouting can be achieved by controlling the inter-resonator coupling with a wide tuning ratio of coupling coefficients. The inter-resonator coupling structure presented in this paper is designed to have both positive and negative coupling values. The presented coupling structure has a large tuning ratio so that both large coupling and large isolation between two resonators can be obtained. A unit cell of the proposed field-programmable filter array was fabricated to prove the proposed concept. It is shown that the unit cell can be adjusted to have second-order bandpass responses, third-order bandpass responses, and fourth-order bandpass responses. The unit cell can also be operated as a switchable filter bank without a switch. All operation modes are verified by measurement.

An autonomous 3–5 GHz UWB sensor transmitter node uses a single solar cell of 2 × 2 cm2, sufficient to generate energy up to 20 mW of peak power outdoors, and acting as a broadband monopole antenna in the 3–10 GHz range, thus miniaturizing the overall system package. The sensor node consumes 10 µA average current when transmitting data bursts every 8.5 s at 1 kbits/s using OOK modulation. The harvested solar energy is stored in a supercapacitor to ensure continuity of transmission.

A novel coupled line structure is studied based on two layers of crossing strips with dense interconnecting vias. The two arrays of vias resembling fence walls in substrate integrated waveguides help enhance the inductive coupling significantly. Dispersion characteristics of both odd and even modes are investigated with emphasis on phase equalization and impedance design as well as coupling enhancement. A specific slow-wave coupled-line structure with enhanced coupling is designed, fabricated and tested as an example. Good agreements are found between measured and simulated results of slow-wave factors, line impedances, and coupling level.

Frequency spectra of the magnetron of the Whirlpool - Talent microwave oven with a cuboidal glass object located in the centre of the turntable are measured with a spectrum analyser for different angular positions of the object. Then, electromagnetic software is used to calculate the amplitude of the reflection coefficient as a function of frequency in the frequency band between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz, for different angular positions of the glass object. By comparing calculated resonant frequencies with the measured leakage characteristics, conclusions regarding the actual operating frequency of the microwave oven are drawn. This provides valuable suggestions for further modelling activities in the area of microwave power applications.

In this contribution, the translation of the field theoretical description of microwave structures into a practical network theoretical one, as has been established by Nathan Marcuvitz in his work “Waveguide Handbook” will be reviewed. We will show how Nathan Marcuvitz organized the book in a clear and logical structure. We will also highlight the characteristic features of the book including the smooth transition between eigenmode expansion of the electromagnetic field, introducing the concepts of equivalent voltages and currents and N-port networks, finding out very efficient equivalent circuits for a large number of microwave structures, and utilizing these equivalent circuits for the design of microwave components.

We present a 5.9-to-7.8 GHz voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS technology and assembled in a chip-scale embedded Wafer Level Ball-Grid-Array (eWLB) package. The VCO uses a high-quality LC-tank inductor, realized in the fan-out area of the package. This inductor achieves a quality factor of 28 at a frequency of 6.5 GHz. Using this high-Q inductor it was possible to reduce the phase noise by as much as 9 dB at a carrier offset of 1 MHz compared to a reference VCO, which is identical to the first one, but uses an integrated on-chip inductor instead. The VCO using the embedded eWLB inductor offers a phase noise of −118.3 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz and achieves an output power of −1.1 dBm. The VCO core consumes 20.2 mA from a 1.2 V supply. The presented results demonstrate an excellent potential for embedded inductors in the fan-out area of an eWLB package for circuits requiring high-Q inductors.

Theodore Saad (1920 – 2011) was a unique individual who is well-known in at least three spheres: as a prominent engineer/entrepreneur, as a tireless IEEE volunteer, and as a civic volunteer and philanthropist in the Boston area. His engineering career was launched at the MIT Rad Lab during World War II, and was followed by important work including both the founding of a successful company (Sage Industries) and a key industry periodical (The Microwave Journal). His IEEE career included terms as President of the IEEE Microwave Theory & Techniques Society and as a member of the Board of Directors of the IEEE Foundation. His technological accomplishments and IEEE service led him to be named a Life Fellow of IEEE. His Boston civic activity included various leadership roles in Concert Opera Boston and generous support of his alma mater, MIT. What may be less known is that Ted was a pioneer in organizing, promoting and championing the idea that IEEE has a responsibility to be active in preserving and promoting the history of IEEE, its members, their professions and the related technologies. This paper enhances the record by summarizing Ted's contributions to IEEE's historical activities.

A waveguide circular polarizer with reconfigurable polarization sense is proposed in this paper. The polarizer can be switched between right and left hand circular polarization. The polarization sense is controlled by RF MEMS switches, which commute between two states for allowing or blocking adequately two different signal paths inside the waveguide structure. The polarizer is made up of three building blocks, involving E-plane waveguide MEMS SP2T switch, ridge to waveguide transitions and a septum-orthomode transducer. A switchable Ku-band polarizer prototype is designed and tested as a proof of concept. The experimental performance shows acceptable return losses and axial ratio levels in the 12.7 to 14.8 GHz band (15.3% fractional bandwidth). The proposed structure is compact and is useful for applications that require fast polarization switching.

A very small form factor and low profile quad-band System-in-Package (SiP) module based on the state-of-the-art brand new 65nm CMOS IC is presented. The SiP module provides full function of 2.4G and 5G WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, FM radio and FM transmitter. The highly integrated device incorporates single chip, RF front-end module, filters for dual band WLAN and GPS, number of SMD components and metal case which provides mechanical protection and implements EMI shielding. A laminate substrate provides the interconnection and distribution of the signals and ground to various components and acts as the carrier to support the die and allow the die IOs to be distributed to the package IOs. Very compact SiP solution with dimensions of 9.5×11.9×1.2mm3 forms a complete stand-alone multi functional wireless communication system.
