2. 1. Exploiting the Terahertz Spectrum with Silicon Micromachining : Waveguide Components, Systems and Metrology

   Author : James Campion; Joachim Oberhammer; Umer Shah; Robert M. Weikle II; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Terahertz; Silicon Micromachining; Waveguide; Waveguide System; Metrology; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The terahertz spectrum (300 GHz - 3 THz) represents the final frontier for modern electronic and optical systems, wherein few low-cost, volume-manufacturable solutions exist. THz frequencies are of great scientific and commercial interest, with applications as diverse as radio astronomy, sensing and imaging and wireless communications. READ MORE

4. 2. Gap Waveguide Technology- Electromagnetic Packaging and Transitions

   Author : Astrid Algaba Brazalez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rectangular waveguide; packaging; transition; coplanar waveguide; microstrip; millimeter waves; gap waveguide; perfect magnetic conductor;

   Abstract : The scarcity of available frequency bands for new wireless communication systems, as well as the growing need for higher capacity, motivates the current interest in moving upwards in frequency. The millimeter wave frequencyrange is very attractive to allocate potential commercial opportunities such as short range wireless communications that allow high-speed data/video transmission, and automotive radars for both driver assistance and increasedsafety.

6. 4. Polymer-Based Low-Cost Micromachining of Gap Waveguide Components

   Author : Sadia Farjana; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mmWave; Polymer microfabrication; sub-mmWave; Dry film photoresist; MEMS; Gap waveguide; Antenna; Waveguide.; Injection molding;

   Abstract : The millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-millimeter-wave (sub-mmWave) frequency bands have gained significant attention over the past few years due to the growth of commercial wireless applications. As the operating frequency approaches these higher frequencies, the dimensions of the waveguide-based components continue to decrease. READ MORE

7. 5. On millimeter and submillimeter wave focal plane arrays implemented with MEMS waveguide switches

   Author : Henrik Frid; Joachim Oberhammer; Vessen Vassilev; Mikro- och nanosystemteknik KTH; []
