Abstract

Within research toward a new generation of in-door communication systems, utilization of frequencies in the higher microwave and lower MM-wave bands may play an important role in future. One of the barriers to fast market introduction is convenient inherently low cost RF front ends to be realized in planar technology, moreover with integrated antennas. In this paper, a solution for an up converter with an integrated antenna at 5 GHz (non-licensed/HIPERLAN band) to 24 GHz (ISM band) is presented. The results may also trace work on the future 100 GHz systems. A solution with a sector antenna is successfully implemented and described in more detail. The measured results have verified the proposed concept
