The filters are embedded in a multi-layer LTCC substrate, and are validated with a finite element full-wave simulation tool. With mid-band frequency set to frequencies in THz bands, both filters demonstrate excellent return loss in stopband and insertion loss in passband; furthermore they are shown promising in combining vacuum microelectronics into highly integrated 3D Microsystem-in-packages.","PeriodicalId":6363,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78326569","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}

This paper centers on the study of antennas in the transceiver. The antenna elements and arrays are designed and manufactured. First, the background of 60-GHz wireless communications is briefly introduced. After a detailed discussion, we decided to choose the antenna-in-package (AiP) solution and the Yagi antenna as elements, which based on the substrate of Scott glass. The phase array consists of two or four Yagi antenna elements. By simulation using Ansoft HFSS, the resulting gain of 4-elements array is 13.85dBi.
