A conformal mm-wave phased array antenna design and packaging integration to provide low loss solution and flexibility for platform integration is presented.Abstract:
60GHz technology utilizes world wide exempt 5–9GHz bandwidth to provide multi-gigabit high throughput wireless communication in WPAN and WLAN applications. One of the key challenges to enable 60GHz technology is developing mm-wave phased array antenna design and packaging integration with mm-wave ICs. This paper presents a conformal mm-wave phased array antenna design and packaging integration to provide low loss solution and flexibility for platform integration.read more
