AbstractA simple waveguide measurement technique is presented to determine the complex permittivity of printed circuit board material. The printed circuit board with metal coating removed from both sides and cut into size which is the same as the cross section of the waveguide is loaded in a short X-band rectangular waveguide. Using a network analyzer, the reflection coefficient of the shorted waveguide(loaded with the sample) is measured. Using the Finite Element Method(FEM) the exact reflection coefficient of the shorted wavguide(loaded with the sample) is determined as a function of dielectric constant. Matching the measured value of the reflection coefficient with the reflection value calculated using FEM and utilizing Newton-Raphson Method, an estimate of the dielectric constant of a printed circuit board material is obtained. A comparison of estimated values of permittivity constant obtained using the present approach with the available data.

Novel slot-array-based SIW corrugated technique is demonstrated to achieve 2D gain enhancement, namely, sharpening the beamwidths in both E-plane and H-plane. Compared to other metallic corrugated methods to realize 2D gain enhancement, the proposed design, with SIW grooves to reduce the beamwidth in E-plane and slot array to increase the directivity in H-plane, has a lower profile, weight, and design complexity, which can be easily fabricated with the common printed circuit board (PCB) technique. A prototype is designed and fabricated, with measurement presenting a low reflection coefficient less than −10 dB from 26.4 GHz to 28.2 GHz and an enhanced gain up to 18 dB. Overall, our proposed technique will be beneficial for the design of high-gain antenna in 5G wireless terminals.

Properties Of Materials

Methylsilsesquioxane (Me-SSQ) was incorporated into cyanate ester resin (CE) to obtain organic-inorganic hybrids with better dielectric properties in this study. First, methyltriethoxysilane was hydrolyzed and condensed to synthesize Me-SSQ. Then several Me-SSQ/CE hybrids containing different contents of Me-SSQ were prepared. The effect of Me-SSQ content on the dielectric and hot/wet properties of materials was investigated. Results showed that the Me-SSQ/CE hybrid containing 20wt% of Me-SSQ shows a dielectric constant of 2.78, which is much lower than the pure CE resin. At the same time, the dielectric loss of the Me-SSQ/CE hybrids was slightly increased (tanδ<0.006). It indicates that Me-SSQ/CE hybrid is a promising matrix materials for high-performance printed circuit board (PCB).

A double inverted F-shape patch antenna is presented for dual-band operation. The proposed antenna is comprised of circular and rectangular slots on a printed circuit board of 40 mm × 40 mm × 1.6 mm with a 50 Ω microstrip transmission line. Commercially available high frequency structural simulator (HFSS) based on the finite element method (FEM) has been adopted in this investigation. It has a measured impedance bandwidths (2 : 1 VSWR) of 18.53% on the lower band and 7.8% on the upper band, respectively. It has achieved stable radiation efficiencies of 79.76% and 80.36% with average gains of 7.82 dBi and 5.66 dBi in the operating frequency bands. Moreover, numerical simulations have been indicated as an important uniformity with measured results.
