Broadband RF material characterization to enable advance heterogeneous integration for DC to 6G applications

Leuven | More than two weeks ago

Targeting the innovative system concepts and system-technology co-design for the next generation of wireless communications

RF materials are widely used from low-frequency wireless data transmission to 5G /6G communication, satellite communication, and automotive radar systems, in which the RF material properties (loss tangent/dielectric constant) will play an essential role. However, most material suppliers provide the dielectric properties only at DC range or a few discrete values at GHz frequency.

This research will focus on the broadband dielectric characterization method for RF material covering from DC to 300GHz frequency, it includes

  • Lliterature review and benchmark the different characterization methods used in the industry and research institute
  • Develop the broadband characterization techniques and methods up to 300GHz
  • Modelling, designing, and implementing the new test structures for optimized Broad band RF characterization methoda
  • Characterize the RF properties of the test structures for different RF materials, determine the permittivity and dielectric loss tangent up to 300GHz
