A monopole antenna loaded with a circular disc is integrated on a glass interposer layer for millimeter-wave wireless communication applications. A Through Glass Via (TGV) is used as a main radiator and the circular disc is for a impedance matching. An omnidirectional radiation pattern formed by the monopole antenna allows in-plane wireless communication whose distance is much larger than 1cm. This can solve problems such as cross talk and time delay caused by the conventional wire bonding approach.
A 77 GHz (W-band) antenna is designed and fabricated as a prototype on a glass substrate. The simulated peak gain of the antenna is 1.23 dBi. Also, as this antenna concept is scalable, the same architecture has been exercised for a 5.8 GHz industrial, scientific and medical, ISM band application. The design, fabrication, and characterization are detailed. The measured results of the return loss and radiation pattern agree well with the simulation results.

Troposcatter can be used as a communication medium for beyond-Line-of-Sight (b-LoS) links. However, available troposcatter channel models do not provide comprehensive channel modeling especially at high frequencies. Therefore, the main motivation of…
We present a free space optical communication system that uses electrostatically modulated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) structures coupled with a glass total internal reflection-type corner cube retroreflector (CCR) as a nonemitting data transmitter.…
Non- Gaussian noise/interference severely limits communication performance of narrowband power line communication (PLC) systems. Such noise/ interference is dominated by periodic impulsive noise whose statistics varies with the AC cycle.…
