Abstract :
Thanks to very interesting electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics, polymers are getting particularly attractive in microwave and millimeterwave applications. This paper gives an overview of different possible polymer implementation in high frequency circuits, from the minimization of circuits´ losses up to 3D integration of the future communication systems. Allied to MEMS technologies, intelligent modules with high compactness and reconfigurability become possible.
