Abstract

The development of mm-wave dual frequency antenna arrays has been presented in multilayer LCP technology. Two 2times2 arrays operating at 14 and 35 GHz respectively have been designed and their impedance characteristics have been validated with measurements. These arrays can be integrated with 3D modules containing integrated circuits, filters and embedded passives to realize a complete system-on-package (SOP) based RF front end
