Original Kurzfassung:
This paper investigates the feasibility of a gain
enhancement technique using stacked directors for antennas
in package. A 77-GHz antenna designed for automotive radar
applications and a frequency multiplier were integrated in a
6×6mm2 embedded wafer level ball grid array (eWLB) pack-age. The frequency multiplier generates the eighteenth harmonic
of its input signal and allows the use of a commercial signal source
to characterize the antenna. Parasitic directors were etched on
a low-loss 2.54mm thick RT/duroid5880LZ laminate by means
of photolithography and were mounted on the eWLB package.
Theoretical analysis and full electromagnetic simulations were
verified against the actual measurements of the antenna radiation
beam pattern.
