“…The present work aims to design and analyse a 4 × 4 Butler matrix that can be implemented in metallic-nanowire-filled membrane (MnM) for applications in the 60 GHz band. MnM is a versatile high-frequency, low-cost interposer technology that shows great potential for the development of mm-Wave applications [13], [14]. The Butler matrix will be studied with four-element series patch antenna arrays connected to the output ports, as illustrated in Fig.…”

This work describes the design and analysis of a 4 × 4 Butler matrix for applications in the 60 GHz unlicensed frequency band. Each of the constitutive blocks that make up the network -hybrid coupler, crossover, and phase shifter -were designed to be compatible with metallic-nanowire-filled membrane manufacturing process and optimized separately. Simulations were conducted using Ansys HFSS and improvements to the devices' behaviours were achieved through parametric analysis.A complete design was obtained by connecting all primary devices and each output port was connected to a series patch antenna array. The complete Butler matrix analysis revealed a device that produces the expected phase distribution and radiation at the desired angles.

“…Regarding filter implementation, the use of lumped-element at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies is extremely difficult because the dimensions of the circuit elements (resistor, inductor, and capacitor) must be much smaller than the wavelength (λ = 5 mm at 60GHz) [2]. Distributed-element circuits approach can produce a similar behavior using λ g /4 resonators, where λ g = λ/ √ ϵ r .…”

“…Recently, an alternative process that uses an alumina substrate with Metallic-Nanowire-Membrane (MnM) demonstrates good results for 3D inductor, cross-overs, hybrids, antennas and other devices at millimeter waves frequencies [2]. This work aims to design and optimize a third-order interdigital band-pass filter with a pass-band from 57 to 66 GHz for manufacturing in MnM Technology.…”

This work presents a third-order interdigital bandpass Butterworth filter designed to operate in the ISM band from 57 to 66 GHz. The project adopted an aluminum oxide (alumina) substrate, copper microstrip transmission lines and a coplanar waveguide (CPW) interface. We performed electromagnetic analysis in Ansys EM using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The filter presented return loss greater than 10 dB and insertion loss greater than 4.47 dB from 57.04 GHz to 65.45 GHz. We will fabricate the device using the Metallic-Nanowire-Membrane technology.

Catalogação-na-publicação ACNKOWLEDGMENTSWriting a doctoral thesis in the middle of a pandemic isn't a pleasant endeavor in any way, so I would like to express my wholehearted gratitude to everyone that helped me along the way, be it in the form of academic/technical or emotional support.To my advisors and professors, Ariana, Philippe, Gustavo, Sylvain and Florence, for the guidance and help while conducting my work, both in Brazil and in France.To the technicians at LME-USP, Thereza, Cristina, Rita, Alexandre and Igor for all the help with the fabrication processes I did. Also, to Loïc for the help during the measurement campaigns of my circuits.To my wife, Karol. Your presence and love gave me the strength I needed to carry on my work.To my parents, Wilson and Lígia, that gave me the support I needed to carry my studies.To the friends I made along the way, Júlio, Marc, Renato, Tadeu and Mohammed. You helped me so much along the way, both technically and personally.And finally, I would like to thank the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) for funding my doctoral studies, both in Brazil and during my stay in France.Toutes les générations de VCOs ont été conçues en bande E autour de 80 GHz, avec un objectif d'accord en fréquence au minimum de 10%. La figure de mérite de l'ensemble des générations est meilleure que -170 dB.La dernière génération basée sur des résonnateurs commutés permet d'envisager un accord de l'ordre de 20% permettant de couvrir la totalité de la bande E. L'ensemble des résultats obtenus montre ainsi que l'approche utilisant des résonateurs basés sur des lignes à ondes lentes de type CPS offre un fort potentiel, que ce soit en termes de performances ou de flexibilité de design permettant d'obtenir des résonateurs très compacts en bande millimétrique.Remarquons que cela peut paraître paradoxal de vouloir fournir des efforts en termes de miniaturisation en bande E où la longueur des lignes devient modérée, mais ce serait oublier le coût des technologies qui croît de manière exponentielle avec la performance des actifs et des passifs, nécessitant ainsi des efforts importants en termes de miniaturisation.
