Microwave circuit manufacturing technologies

The Poly-Grames Research Centre has acquired major millimetre-wave infrastructures, enabling it to further advance its modelling, manufacturing, and measurement capabilities. Ongoing research in the millimetre-wave domain will be significantly strengthened thanks to the new hybrid and monolithic fabrication technologies now available. In this talk, an overview of the various microwave circuit manufacturing technologies accessible at Poly-Grames will be presented, including printed circuit boards on Duroid substrates, thin-film MHMICs on ceramics, laser machining of metals, ceramics, and TMM materials, as well as high-precision CNC machining. The vision of integration, along with the constraints imposed by manufacturing limitations, will also be discussed.
