Modern communication devices demand challenging specifications in terms of miniaturization, performance, power consumption and cost. Every new generation of radio frequency integrated circuits (RF-ICs) offer better functionality at reduced size, power cons ...
This paper presents implementations of very wideband antennas with reconfigurable band-rejection filtering within the band. The base antenna topology used is a dipole slot bow-tie whose maximal dimension at the lowest matched frequency is only 0.2λ0. The a ...
This work includes the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures as well as the investigation of their optical properties in the near-field and in the farfield. As expressed in the title of this thesis the focus lies in the subwavelength confinement and enha ...
The effect of substrate permittivity on UWB antenna radiation is studied. Microstrip and CPW-fed UWB monopoles are designed using substrates with different dielectric constants. The radiation patterns are measured. The transfer function of a two identical ...

To improve health, to help to manage chronical disease and to provide equal access to healthcare, continuous monitoring of physiological parameter associated to telemedicine is mandatory. In this perspective Body Sensor Networks concept has emerged. It inc ...
We present a general metallization process for the fabrication of solenoidal micro-coils for high resolution MRI of volume-limited samples. The process allows for the MEMS-compatible batch fabrication of identical coils. Hollow conductors are integrated wi ...
We have designed a wafer level chip scale package for a bi-stable SOI-MEMS dc switch using a silicon-glass hermetic seal with through the lid feedthroughs. Bonded at 365 °C, 230 V and 250 kg, they pass the fine/gross leak test after thermal cycling and mec ...
In wireless communications, radio frequency micro-electro-mechanical systems (RF MEMS) technology is attracting tremendous interest across the world as the needs of frequencies gets higher, data bandwidth gets larger and multiple broadband signals have to ...
This paper reports on the design and fabrication of a fully integrated antenna beam steering concept for wireless sensor nodes. The conformal array circumcises four cube faces with a silicon core mounted on each face. Every silicon core represents a 2 by 1 ...
Wafer-scale nanostencil lithography (nSL) is used to define several types of silicon mechanical resonators, whose dimensions range from 20 μm down to 200 nm, monolithically integrated with CMOS circuits. We demonstrate the simultaneous patterning by nSL of ...
