A D-Band Packaged Antenna on Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics for Wire-Bond Connection with an Indium Phosphide Power Meter

摘要：

　　A D-band packaged grid array antenna (GAA) on Ferro A6M low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC, εr =5.74,tanδ =0.0023@145 GHz) is presented.It is designed for wirebond connection with an indium phosphide (InP) power meter as a demonstration of a D-band packaged radio.Dimensions of the GAA (x,y, z)=(12, 12, 0.5) mm3.Simulated by Ansoft HFSS, the antennas impedance bandwidth is 139-149.3 GHz, maximum gain of 20.9 dBi@147.8 GHz with 3-dB gain bandwidth 139.5-150.8 GHz, vertical beams of 10° beamwidth in the broadside are detected 139-151 GHz on both E-and H-planes.The 25 um diameter co-planar bonding wires that bridge the InP chip and LTCC antenna substrate over a 250 um separation are studied,showing acceptable insertion loss and limited bandwidth.
