Abstract :
The effect of conductor loss of very thin lossy printed silver nano-particle traces manufactured using the printable electronics technology is studied up to 10 GHz by simulations and measurements. First, microstrip resonators are used as test structures with measurements and simulations. In addition to this, the behavior of the attenuation of microstrip lines with different conductivity value and layer thickness pairs have been studied with simulations to achieve basic guidelines for the effects of parameter variation.
