On the Design and Analysis of Micro-metric Resolution Arrays in Integrated Technology for Near-Field Dielectric Spectroscopy

On the Design and Analysis of Micro-metric Resolution Arrays in Integrated Technology for Near-Field Dielectric Spectroscopy Medical procedures and treatments have a great impact on the quality of life as well as on the health care costs. Increasing number of cases pertaining to skin cancer have been documented by the International Agency for...

Wideband, Wide-Scan Planar Array of Connected Slots Loaded With Artificial Dielectric Superstrates

Microwave broadband wide-scan antenna arrays are typically implemented resorting to vertical arrangements of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Here, we propose a planar solution realized with a single multi-layer PCB, with consequent reduction in cost and complexity of the array. It consists of an array of connected slots backed by a metallic...

BiCMOS integrated waveguide power combiner at submillimeter-wave frequencies

This contribution presents the development of an integrated power combiner in Bi-CMOS technology employing artificial dielectric layers (ADLs) at submillimeter wave frequencies. The power is gathered from frequency multiplier chains into a single waveguide which is loaded with ADL in order to reduce the structure footprint.

A Planar Wideband Wide-Scan Phased Array: Connected Array Loaded with Artificial Dielectric Layers

We present a novel concept for wideband, wide-scan phased array applications. The array is composed by connected-slot elements loaded with artificial dielectric superstrates. The proposed solution consists of a single multi-layer planar printed circuit board (PCB) and does not require the typically employed vertical arrangement of multiple PCBs....
