“…In this project we used the compact ultra-wideband crossover (Fig, 4) developed in [11], as it presents excellent performance for the intended application and is also based on MnM technology. We analysed its behaviour for the 60 GHz band and the results are displayed in Fig.…”

“…Reference [10] presents a generally known Butler matrix structure, with crossovers consisting of a combination of two couplers, which leads to an expansive device. A more compact design is reported in [11], where slow-wave microstrip lines are employed to reduce the size. A different crossover structure is used in [12] seeking a more compact device without miniaturization based on slow-wave technology.…”

This work describes the design and analysis of a 4 × 4 Butler matrix for applications in the 60 GHz unlicensed frequency band. Each of the constitutive blocks that make up the network -hybrid coupler, crossover, and phase shifter -were designed to be compatible with metallic-nanowire-filled membrane manufacturing process and optimized separately. Simulations were conducted using Ansys HFSS and improvements to the devices' behaviours were achieved through parametric analysis.A complete design was obtained by connecting all primary devices and each output port was connected to a series patch antenna array. The complete Butler matrix analysis revealed a device that produces the expected phase distribution and radiation at the desired angles.

“…3D structures were further designed due to the availability of high-performance small nanowire-vias in this interposer, such as crossovers up to 110 GHz [24] with maximum insertion loss of 1.5 dB (not de-embedded), imbalance of 0.2 dB, phase imbalance of 3.3°, and isolation of 30 dB (Fig. 4); 3D inductors [25] with SFR of 91 GHz, quality factor of 35 @40 GHz and values up to 17 nH and 3D transformers [26] (Fig.…”

This paper intends to make a brief presentation of in integrated circuits’ developments and efforts towards new wireless applications at the millimeter-wave frequencies band. Considering low-cost applications for the consumer market, it is shown that using only one technology is not desirable for cost and size reasons. The 3D integration becomes a necessity for the new applications in such frequencies, pushing forward alternative technologies and new 3D interconnection techniques.
