Development of an Inkjet-Printed Interdigitated Device: CAD, Fabrication, and Testing

This work is aimed at the analysis of an inkjet-printed one-port interdigitated device. After using computer-aided design (CAD) simulation tools for an effective design optimization, the proposed interdigitated device has been fabricated by using the inkjet-printing technology. The performance of the device under test (DUT) has been verified through an experimental characterization carried out with a vector network analyzer (VNA). Experiments have bee made in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 6 GHz.
