Circularly polarized co-designed filtering annular slot antenna

In this paper, a compact circularly polarized co-designed filtering annular slot antenna (ASA) is proposed. The antenna comprises a distributed capacitor-loaded annular slot radiator to produce circular polarization (CP) radiation, which is seamlessly integrated with a microstripline bandpass filter (BPF) to enhance out-of-CP-band suppression. Two tightly coupled arc branches protruding into the annular slot are used to provide the required perturbation capacitance. The filter is designed by employing three concentric arc-shaped coupled microstripline resonators. The ground plane is shared by the annular slot radiator and the filter to reduce size occupation. It is found that the proposed antenna can not only yield high frequency selectivity, but also obtain widened CP bandwidth under the assistance of the filtering circuit. An antenna prototype has been fabricated and measured, showing that the antenna achieves a 10 dB return loss impedance bandwidth of around 13.7%, enclosing a 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of more than 10.6%. Details of design considerations and experimental results are presented and discussed.     

A V-band front-end with 3-D integrated cavity filters/duplexers and antenna in LTCC technologies

This paper presents a compact system-on-package-based front-end solution for 60-GHz-band wireless communication/sensor applications that consists of fully integrated three-dimensional (3-D) cavity filters/duplexers and antenna. The presented concept is applied to the design, fabrication, and testing of V-band (receiver (Rx): 59-61.5 GHz, transmitter (Tx): 61.5-64 GHz) transceiver front-end module using multilayer low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology. Vertically stacked 3-D low-loss cavity bandpass filters are developed for Rx and Tx channels to realize a fully integrated compact duplexer. Each filter exhibits excellent performance (Rx: IL<2.37 dB, 3-dB bandwidth (BW) /spl sim/3.5%, Tx: IL<2.39 dB, 3-dB BW /spl sim/3.33%). The fabrication tolerances contributing to the resonant frequency experimental downshift were investigated and taken into account in the simulations of the rest devices. The developed cavity filters are utilized to realize the compact duplexers by using microstrip T-junctions. This integrated duplexer shows Rx/Tx BW of 4.20% and 2.66% and insertion loss of 2.22 and 2.48 dB, respectively. The different experimental results of the duplexer compared to the individual filters above are attributed to the fabrication tolerance, especially on microstrip T-junctions. The measured channel-to-channel isolation is better than 35.2 dB across the Rx band (56-58.4 GHz) and better than 38.4 dB across the Tx band (59.3-60.9 GHz). The reported fully integrated Rx and Tx filters and the dual-polarized cross-shaped patch antenna functions demonstrate a novel 3-D deployment of embedded components equipped with an air cavity on the top. The excellent overall performance of the full integrated module is verified through the 10-dB BW of 2.4 GHz (/spl sim/4.18%) at 57.45 and 2.3 GHz (/spl sim/3.84%) at 59.85 GHz and the measured isolation better than 49 dB across the Rx band and better than 51.9 dB across the Tx band.

3-D Integration of 10-GHz Filter and CMOS Receiver Front-End

A 10-GHz filter/receiver module is implemented in a novel 3-D integration technique suitable for RF and microwave circuits. The receiver designed and fabricated in a commercial 0.18-mum CMOS process is integrated with embedded passive components fabricated on a high-resistivity Si substrate using a recently developed self-aligned wafer-level integration technology.

At RF frequency of 10.3 GHz and with an IF frequency of 50 MHz, the integrated front-end system achieves a conversion gain of 19 dB, and an overall noise figure of 10 dB. A fully integrated filter/receiver on an Si substrate that operates at microwave frequencies is demonstrated.
