In this work, a thin-film transmission line (TFTL) employing microstrip line/coplanar waveguide (ML/CPW) on silicon substrate was proposed, and its RF characteristics were investigated. The TFTL employing ML/CPW composite structure exhibited the wavelength shorter than conventional coplanar waveguide and thin-film microstrip line. Concretely, at 10 GHz, the wavelength of conventional coplanar waveguide and thin film waveguide is 10.35 and 7.83 mm, while the wavelength of the TFTL employing ML/CPW composite structure was 6.26 mm, which was 60.5 % of the conventional coplanar waveguide. The TFTL employing ML/CPW composite structure with a length of λ/8 showed the loss less than 1.12 dB up to 30 GHz, which was lower than conventional coplanar waveguide and thin-film microstrip line. Above results indicates that the TFTL employing ML/CPW composite structure is a promising candidate for application to a miniaturization of RF components on silicon RFIC.

This paper introduces the design and implementation of two high gain Quasi-Yagi printed antennas developed on silicon substrate for 94 GHz imaging applications. The proposed antennas are based on either driven loop or dipole antennas fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feeding structure. For better matching with the driven antennas, a matching section has been added between the CPW feedline and the driven antenna element. To improve the gain of either loop or dipole antennas, a ground reflector and parasitic director elements have been added. Two Quasi-Yagi antenna prototypes based on loop and dipole antenna elements have been fabricated and experimentally tested using W-band probing station (75–110 GHz). The measured results show good agreement with simulated results and confirm that the proposed antennas are working. In addition, a feed and matching configuration is proposed to enable coupling a microbolometer element to the proposed Quasi-Yagi antenna designs for performing radiation pattern measurements.
