Short Description: The exploitation of the frequency band up to 40 GHz requires a tight strucural control of the transmission lines. Basis for the project is a rigid substrate based on LTCC technology. To obtain line widths down to 50µm under series conditions, several structuring processes need to be developed and optimised. In contrast to standard thin film technology, microwave strucutres can be arranged in several layers. This quasi three-dimensional approach supports new designs for impedance controlled transitions from one transmission line to another or to a wave guide. Embedding of passive components is another feature of LTCC. High-k-materials can be introduced to realise a buried capacitor for decoupling purposes. Embedded resistors can be used for wave absorbers.
