Additively Manufactured On-Package Multipolar Antenna Systems For Harsh Communication Channels, Ramiro A. Ramirez-Hernandez Jun 2018

Additively Manufactured On-Package Multipolar Antenna Systems For Harsh Communication Channels, Ramiro A. Ramirez-Hernandez

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Four main aspects are studied and explored throughout this dissertation: (1) On-Package Multipolar antenna system design for integration with commercial wireless sensor nodes for machine-to-machine communication applications; (2) Development of a novel MMIC packaging process and subsequent antenna integration for chip-to-chip communication applications, (3) Design and characterization of additively manufactured lumped passive elements for integration with MMIC and hybrid circuits, (4) Design and characterization of antennas for on- and off-metal radio frequency identification (RFID) applications.

This work presents the design of different 3-D printed tripolar antenna systems operating at 2.4 GHz. The antennas are designed for integration with commercial wireless …
