abstract = ""In this paper, influence of flexible substrates’ thickness on coplanar waveguide (CPW) inductors for high frequency applications is presented.
The designed multilayer CPW inductors for high applications are two-port meanders with one turn and outer dimension 1.8 mm × 2.0 mm. The line paths in the presented structures have 200 μm widths. Around the CPW inductors is a ring-shaped ground plane, which is a replacement for a background metallization. In that manner, the structures are manufactured in a low-cost one-side fabrication process.
CPW inductors was made in ink-jet printing technology on flexible substrate with nanoparticle ink which contain 20 wt% of silver. For the fabrication process is used DMP 3000 ink-jet printer. The goal of this work was to examine the influence of substrate thickness on inductor’s performance. Because of that, have are fabricated CPW inductors on four substrates with 25, 50, 75 and 125 μm thicknesses.
The design, modeling and simulation of CPW inductors were obtained using the Microwave Office (MWO), an electromagnetic (EM) simulator provided by AWR Corp.
The printed structures were measured using the vector network analyser and RF probe station. The measurement results were obtained in the frequency range from 1 to 35 GHz.
Increasing substrate thickness leads to greater values of quality factor of CPW inductors. Also, we get higher self-resonant frequency of proposed inductors. Changing substrates’ thicknesses, we can change the performance of CPW inductor. "",
