In this contribution, fundamental design considerations for a novel metallization technique to realize millimeter-wave microstrip structures are presented. This hot embossing technology is a fast and economic process originating from the production of three-dimensional molded interconnect devices. Conductive structures are coated onto plastic parts or plastic foils using a heated stamp. This approach shows high potential and therefore will be investigated for the fabrication of low-cost printed antennas at millimeter-wave frequencies. The focus of this contribution is on design guidelines considering process parameters and interactions with substrate and copper foil characteristics derived from the fabrication and measurement of single microstrip patch antenna prototypes for radar applications in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band at 24 GHz. Far-reaching potential lies in the utilization of the three-dimensional manufacturing technology for the construction of conformal integrated antenna systems based on the thermoforming capabilities of polymer substrates.

Rfid Antennas

Printed antennas fabricated using conductive ink printed on flexible substrate is low-cost and environmental friendly. The inductance and the quality factor are two important parameters for designing RFID antenna and were studied for the printed RFID antennas. The results show that the inductance is not only determined by the size of the designed RFID antenna but also related to the resistance of the printed antenna coils. The inductance increases with the increasing testing frequency, while the Q value decreases with the increasing testing frequency. The soft magnetic ink prepared with γ-Fe2O3 was used to enhance the inductance of the printed antennas with printing technology. The inductance of the printed antenna with the magnetic core layer is increased by 5.7% at 13.56 MHz.

Log Periodic Antenna

Microstrip printed antennas are the preferred choice in high data ratio modern communications, mainly at 2.45 GHz and above. In this paper, we propose two different approaches of microstrip printed antennas for lower frequency usage. In this sense, we present a printed microstrip Yagi-like antenna at 868 MHz and a printed dipole log-periodic antenna for wider band applications. We focus on the use of low-cost substrates, with a good performance at these frequencies, and giving antennas with useful sizes for such applications. For the analysis, we make use of standard experimental characterization combined with full-wave 3D-FDTD specifically developed simulations. In this way, the S11, radiation patterns, and gain/efficiency figures are given.
