MMIC packaging using Flip-Chip technology at G band

Front-end Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) have recently become commercially available for frequencies above 100 GHz. However, achieving low-loss and broadband interconnections between the antenna and MMICs is challenging for integrated front ends at these frequencies. This thesis presents the characterization of a flip-chip...

Wireless passive weight sensor: Design and simulation of an RLC-resonance sensor for weight sensing in conveyor belts

This thesis presents a resonant sensor circuit design that converts the deformation of a load cell in a conveyor belt into a change in resonance frequency. The sensor is inductively coupled to a reader circuit using planar PCB inductor coils. A sensor circuit was designed, fitted on a square PCB with 14.14 mm side length. The circuit consists of...
