Dr. Shiban Koul

Millimetre waves offer widespread applications in defence, space and commercial sectors. In this talk,different technologies for building Millimetre Wave Integrated Circuits and Subsystems will be presented. Starting from conventional microstrip technology, other key technologies including suspended stripline, dielectric integrated guide, Finline, LTCC, MEMS and MMIC will be described. Design methodology leading to development of several high performance components/ subsystems at 35 GHz, 60 GHz and 140 GHz along with experimental results will be presented. The talk will conclude by giving a comparison of various technologies.
