We’re happy to share that our paper, “A compact 100-GHz omnidirectional monopole probe dielectric resonator antenna enabled by micromachined silicon coaxial cavity,” has just been published in the SPIE Digital Library.
Designing antennas that work well at very high frequencies—like 100GHz—is not easy. They need to be very small, precise, and efficient. In this work, we present a new type of antenna made from silicon using micromachining, a technique that allows us to build tiny structures with great accuracy.
Our antenna is designed to be simple, compact, and easy to assemble. It performs well at 107GHz, with low signal loss and a wide enough bandwidth for practical use. It also sends signals in all directions, making it ideal for testing new wireless technologies.
As we move toward 6G wireless networks, we need better tools to test and develop high-frequency devices. This new antenna could be a low-cost, effective solution for future millimeter-wave testing setups.
This research is part of the ongoing work in the POLYNICES project, where we explore innovative ways to combine photonics and electronics for faster, smarter communication systems.
