Neculoiu et al proposed membrane-supported Yagi-Uda antenna structures on silicon and gallium arsenide semiconductors in the V-and W-band [13], [14]. However, as the semiconductors are generally poor antenna substrates, micromachining technology has to be used to gain sufficient antenna efficiency.…”

Abstract-An antenna concept for compact millimeter-wave radar sensors that desire a fan-beam radiation pattern is proposed. It combines an end-fire antenna on a ceramic substrate with a cylindrical parabolic reflector that can be integrated in the sensor's metal housing. The concept allows a direct interconnection from the active components to the antenna in a flip-chip attachment. It is validated with a 77-GHz Yagi-Uda antenna on a 127-m thick Alumina substrate by measurements with a probe-based measurement setup. The measured return loss, gain, and radiation patterns of the antenna without and with the reflector are given.Index Terms-End-fire antennas, millimeter-wave antennas, millimeter-wave radar, radar antennas, reflector antennas.

“…resonators and filters) are being considered by several research groups, with the possibility of revolutionizing the complete transceiver architectures towards ultra-low power solutions [17][18][19][20]. Membrane supported antennas can be a good solution for the millimeter and sub-millimeter wave range because of their high gain, good radiation pattern and reasonable bandwidth and compatibility in integration with active components in 60 GHz ICs [21,22].…”

The paper presents an overview survey of emerging wireless technologies suitable for short reach (<100m) RF communication starting from the existing high bit-rate systems (802.11n, 802.15.3a) and ending with 60 GHz mm-wave radios. Basic principles, power dissipation levels and hardware realization challenges in silicon are discussed. Prospects of building technologies that achieve Gigabit per second data rates are investigated.

The membrane supported device is attractive because of its capability to realize low loss components at millimeter and sub-millimeter wave frequencies on traditional semiconductor substrates. This is done by eliminating a large portion of the dielectric substrate and suspending the circuit area. This paper presents results of membrane supported transmission lines and Ka-band filters on silicon substrates. The fabrication is enabled by bulk micromachining of the silicon. Two types of filters are designed, one based on a coplanar-waveguide, and the other on microstrip resonators.
