Abstract
Recent developments in the low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology have enabled the integration of passive components including antennas in a cost-effective package up to the millimetre-wave frequencies. Suitable antenna types for the LTCC integration are, for example, microstrip dipoles, slot antennas, and various types of microstrip patch antennas [1,2]. In this paper, the design and manufacturing of an aperture-coupled microstrip line-fed microstrip antenna (ACMPA) and a slot-coupled coplanar waveguide-fed microstrip antenna (SCMPA) on LTCC substrate are presented. Also, the material characterisation of Ferro A6S LTCC system with method based on ring resonators is shown. The return loss of -10 dB or better is achieved for the antennas within 3.4. 6.6% impedance bandwidth. Our studies show that functional antennas can be fabricated with standard LTCC process and materials even for the 60 GHz frequency band.
