“…These circuits are all implemented on cellulose-based materials and have been developed during the last years, exploiting the novel copper laminate method [12]. Such a technique relies on a copper adhesive tape that is shaped by a photo-lithographic process and then transferred to the hosting substrate (i.e., paper) by means of a sacrificial layer.…”

This paper proposes a review of several circuits for communication and wireless sensing applications implemented on cellulose-based materials. These circuits have been developed during the last years exploiting the adhesive copper laminate method. Such a technique relies on a copper adhesive tape that is shaped by a photolithographic process and then transferred to the hosting substrate (i.e., paper) by means of a sacrificial layer. The presented circuits span from UHF oscillators to a mixer working at 24 GHz and constitute an almost complete set of building blocks that can be applied to a huge variety communication apparatuses. Each circuit is validated experimentally showing performance comparable with the state-ofthe-art. This paper demonstrates that circuits on cellulose are capable of operating at record frequencies and that ultra-low cost, green i.e., recyclable and biodegradable) materials can be a viable solution to realize high frequency hardware for the upcoming Internet of Things (IoT) era.

“…In addition ,many layer of ink are required to achieve the right thickness of metal layer which becomes very time consuming .Other ecologic substrate used in last few years is textile for wearable applications, such as tracking position of fire fighting men [3].Also, Plastic was exploited for high frequency applications [4]. In [5], process of fabrication has complicated steps and demanding many tools such as UV light source, photo-lithographic etching with photo resist film deposed on the cooper surface and NaOH solution was used to remove the unimpressed film. Also, protective and sacrificial layer are required.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a comparison between innovative technique for implementation of substrate integrated waveguide band pass filter centered at 4 GHz and conventional PCB results . Two poles filter is designed, simulated and fabricated. The novel fabrication process technique is based on green manufacturing where physical etching of metal layer of aluminum is glued on paper substrate. The pass band filter is composed of two resonant adjacent and symmetric cavities separated by a coupling iris. The same topology is adopted with conventional substrate and PCB technology to validate the new technique results. The bandwidth achieved is almost four times wider than found with PCB technology developed for UWB applications. The proposed technique keeps the advantages of conventional SIW technology including low profile, compact size, complete shielding, easy fabrication, low cost for mass production as well as convenient integration with planar waveguide components including transitions. Moreover, the flexible quality of paper offer the possibility to fabricate conformal shapes of SIW components which is not possible with conventional rigid substrates made with PCB technology . In addition to the advantages of eco friendly, renewable, light weight , and ultra low cost materials.

“…Generally, these subsystems, antennas and circuits, are directly interconnected by means of galvanic contacts, thus requiring a wire-bonding or a soldering process. Recently a novel method to connect such subsystems has been proposed in [5][6][7][8][9][10]. This method is based on magnetic coupling and promises to enhance the integration level of wearable electronic systems.…”

Abstract-This paper proposes wearable electronic modules on textile, suitable for garment integration, based on antennas magnetically coupled to the active circuitry. The coupling mechanism is based on a heterogeneous transformer with the primary and secondary windings implemented in the antenna and in the circuitry substrate (hybrid or monolithic), respectively. The proposed coupling topology avoids galvanic contacts between the antenna and the active circuitry, allowing for interconnecting the antenna by a mere placing and gluing process. Bonding and soldering processes, often critical for textile materials are thus avoided. The proposed innovation, mitigating the industrial realization constraints posed by textile implementation of active antennas and RFID tags, should unsurprisingly enable and foster industrial developments of garment RFID, wearable electronics and body-centric communications systems. A patch antenna with transformer based on textile materials and operating in the frequency band 2.4-2.4835 GHz is designed, realized and measured.
