“…Micromachining has therefore been used to suspend dipole or slot radiators on thin dielectric membranes (without the shielding cavities described in previous filters), with the planar antennas then effectively radiating in free space. Anisotropic etching has also been used to integrate silicon pyramidal cavities that act as miniature integrated horns around the dipole antennas, directing the radiated energy very efficiently in the forward direction [51,52].…”

Abstract-An overview of recent progress in the research and development of micromachined devices for use in wireless communication sub-systems is presented. Among the specific devices described are tunable micromachined capacitors, integrated high-Q inductors, micromachined low-loss microwave and mm-wave filters, low loss micromechanical switches, microscale vibrating mechanical resonators with Q's in the tens of thousands, and miniature antennas for mm-wave applications. Specific applications are reviewed for each of these components with emphasis on methods for miniaturization and performance enhancement of existing and future wireless transceivers.

This paper compares three different procedures for characterising the Noise Temperature and Conversion Loss of a millimetre wave mixer. To carry out this study a 183 GHz subharmonic mixer has been measured using three alternative procedures, i.e. the "Attenuator", the "Gain" and the "Noise injection" procedures. Furthermore for every measurement procedure three different detection methods have been used; a Broadband Power Meter, a YIG Filter working together with a Broadband Power Meter and a Spectrum Analyser. The "Gain procedure" has turned out to be the most stable one in terms of less variation between consecutive values and flatter results along all the frequency range. Results obtained with every detection method are consistent with each other, showing a similar performance of the mixer independently the detection method used.

“…There are three kinds of micromachined patch antenna structures reported. One is a micromachined patch antenna supported with a thin membrane by complete or partial etching the substrate underneath and around the antenna [2]- [4]. The second one is a micromachined patch antenna by etching or drilling a series of very closely spaced holes ( 10 d λ ≤ ) underneath and around the antenna [5].…”

An Aperture-coupled patch antenna using micromachining technology on high resistivity silicon substrates has been studied in this paper. A Finite Ground Coplanar Waveguide-Microstrip Line(FGCPW-MS) is used to feed this antenna. The effects of varying several key physical parameters of the structure are investigated to get the maximum improvement in bandwidth and HFSS software is used to optimize this model. The simulated results show that bandwidth of 6.34%, gain of 5.8dB and efficiency of 74% has been achieved. Fabrication is done using micromachining technologies. And due to fabrication error and measurement method the measured results show a bandwidth of 4.19%. However, it still shows good agreement in simulation and measurement. Besides its small physical size, this kind of antenna is also easy to integrate with other active components.I.
