New Progresses in Multilayer Circuits at Millimeter-wave Frequencies in Assoc. Prof. Yifei Zhang’s Research Group

Date:2020-08-03Click:

Recently, Dr. Zhang’s group have developed several novel multilayer circuits from 70 to 110 GHz, including circuits transitions between microstrip lines, striplines, substrate integrated waveguides (SIWs), filters, and their integration with monolithic millimeter-wave (mmW) or microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). These devices addresses leading low loss, broad bandwidth, and good electromagnetics compatibilities, which have found many applications in millimeter wave imaging and communication systems. The substrate, namely liquid crystal polymer (LCP), is an emerging PCB material, which is flexible, and thus suitable for conformal applications.
