In this paper, we present the design and realization of a miniaturized Butler matrix for 60 GHz applications. The matrix is realized using the IPD process from ST Microelectronics, Tours. Using new miniaturized branchline couplers and the IPD process, the Butler size is reduced by 90%. Simulation results show an insertion loss of 2.25 ± 0.95 dB...

In this paper, we present the design of a D-band Quasi-Yagi antenna for in-package integration. This antenna consists of a half-wavelength dipole element and two directors elements to achieve higher directivity. The ground plane position from the driven dipole is also chosen to emulate a reflector behavior. The dipole is excited trough a...

In this paper, we present an end-fire radiating antenna for 60 GHz WiGig applications. This Vivaldi antenna is realized on glass substrate using Integrated Passive Device technology. Measurements using an RF probe show that the antenna is matched with a -10 dB criteria from 56 to 67 GHz. A realized gain higher than 4 dBi is obtained in the...
