Abstract :
In this paper, fully integrated filter and antenna functions are demonstrated as a system-on-package (SOP) compact front-end solutions for the low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) and for Liquid-Crystal Polymer (LCP) based millimeter-wave modules. The compact and easy-to-design integrated passive functions of filter and antenna have been hereby experimentally validated. The above proposed designs can be easily combined, leading to the complete passive integration with high level of selectivity over the band of interest.
