The lack of a ground plane in the absorber design may pave the way for frequency-selective response that is an essential requirement for invisible sensors and wave filters. The absorber is to be manufactured using state-of-the-art techniques of large-area printing, within the frame of a joint project between Aalto University and the State Research Center of Finland (VTT). This new technology offers high resolution (up to 1 micrometer) and allows large-area deposition (up to several meters). At this stage of the work, we have designed a novel absorber and tested the performance of the proposed absorber numerically.","PeriodicalId":156809,"journal":{"name":"2016 Global Symposium on Millimeter Waves (GSMM) & ESA Workshop on Millimetre-Wave Technology and Applications","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121922097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine the surface reflectivity of composites at millimetre-wave frequencies, a measurement setup using a Fabry-Perot resonator has been developed at Q-Band (33-50 GHz). Fabry-Perot resonators are well known to give high-Q resonances and are suitable to measure low-loss materials. Open resonators have the inherent advantage that the quality of resonance is not affected by any sidewalls or corner air gaps, as in waveguide resonators, and various samples of mirrors can be easily swapped within the system. We will outline the design guidelines and measurement procedure of the resonator. Measured results of known metals are provided to demonstrate the setup and to provide relative metrics for future composite material testing.","PeriodicalId":156809,"journal":{"name":"2016 Global Symposium on Millimeter Waves (GSMM) & ESA Workshop on Millimetre-Wave Technology and Applications","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125143466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the state-of-art of innovative techniques, which allow propelling the MMID technology in the front line of future wireless systems such as smart homes, are presented. Two recent developments in our group are highlighted with simulations and experiments, namely (1) extremely miniaturized and highly-secure chipless tag techniques for short- and mid-range; and (2) a new generation of high data-rate, fully integrated, battery-free, yet active MMID tag on a single CMOS die with no external components. In this paper, great potentials and exciting prospects of MMID sensing systems as well as their technological challenges in terms of security, networking, mass production and deployment issues are discussed. Successful development of MMIDs and their penetration into the market constitute a critical future smart living and result in better life in terms of green environment, efficient energy usage and secure information.","PeriodicalId":156809,"journal":{"name":"2016 Global Symposium on Millimeter Waves (GSMM) & ESA Workshop on Millimetre-Wave Technology and Applications","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125410002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
