Abstract: Arrays of low permittivity Polymer-based Resonator Antenna elements with different configurations. Individual array elements can be fabricated with complicated geometries; these elements can be assembled into complicated patterns as a single monolithic fabricated structure using narrow wall connecting structures, which removes the requirement to position and assemble the array elements. Monolithic array structures can be assembled as sub-arrays in larger array structures. Elements, sub-arrays, and arrays can also be formed by inserting dielectric materials into cavities defining their lateral geometries, and fabricated in polymer templates. The polymer templates can be removed or retained to function as part of the antenna.

Abstract: Dielectric resonator antennas suitable for use in compact radiofrequency (RF) antennas and devices, and methods of fabrication thereof. Described are dielectric resonator antennas fabricated using polymer-based materials, such as those commonly used in lithographic fabrication of integrated circuits and microsystems. Accordingly, lithographic fabrication techniques can be employed in fabrication. The polymer-based dielectric resonator antennas can be excited using tall metal vertical structures, which are also fabricated using techniques adapted from integrated circuit and microsystems fabrication.

Abstract: Antennas suitable for use in compact radio frequency (RF) applications and devices, and methods of fabrication thereof. Described are resonator antennas, for example dielectric resonator antennas fabricated using polymer-based materials, such as those commonly used in lithographic fabrication of integrated circuits and microsystems. Accordingly, lithographic fabrication techniques can be employed in fabrication. The antennas have metal inclusions embedded in the resonator body which can be configured to control electromagnetic field patterns, which serves to enhance the effective permittivity of the resonator body, while creating an anisotropic material with different effective permittivity and polarizations in different orientations.
