There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract: The fast-growing 5G wireless communications are emerging to transform a range of consumer and industrial sectors. Package integration of mm-wave components with antenna-in-package is one of the key enablers for high-speed wireless applications. This dissertation presents the modeling, design, and demonstration of high-performance ultra-thin antenna-integrated 3D glass-based mm-wave packages. The package-level integration for mm-wave elements and components into glass substrates offer higher component density, lower component-to-component signal losses, smaller footprint, thickness reduction, and equal to or lower cost compared to conventional organic- or ceramic-based substrates.
