A feasibility study of antenna in a package technology for 40GHz front-end module

In this paper, a front-end module integrated with a planar dipole antenna based on LTCC technology is proposed and its feasibility is studied at 40 GHz band. Front-end module is a part of 40 GHz transceiver and consists of a single pole double throw (SPDT) switch, a laminated waveguide filter and a planar dipole antenna. The proposed structure shows good agreements between measured and simulated results. Size of the proposed structure is 27.5 × 5.85 mm².
