Ponchak of the NASA Glenn Research Center, and A. Akiba, S. Mitarai, and K. Ikeda of Sony Corporation.\u0026nbsp; Her work presents a hybrid silicon-organic packaged mm-wave antennas that is flip-chip bonded to a 400 \u00b5m thick silicon substrate through gold bumps and a non-conductive film (NCF) adhesive layer. Two different antennas were designed, at 60 and 80 GHz, respectively. It is demonstrated that the organic substrate can be successfully integrated into a package at mm-wave frequencies by securing it mechanically with the NCF layer. Both designs yielded over 15 percent bandwidth and greater than 10 dBi gain.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student Aida Vera Lopez received an Honorable Mention Award at the 2012 IEEE International Microwave Symposium Student Paper Competition.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student Aida Vera Lopez received an Honorable Mention Award at the 2012 IEEE International Microwave Symposium Student Paper Competition."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2012-07-18 14:18:06","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:12:33","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2012-07-18T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2012-07-18T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"141111":{"id":"141111","type":"image","title":"Aida Vera Lopez","body":null,"created":"1449178710","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:38:30","changed":"1475894771","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:46:11","alt":"Aida Vera Lopez","file":{"fid":"194935","name":"aida_vera_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/aida_vera_0_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/aida_vera_0_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":289981,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/aida_vera_0_0.jpg?itok=tpPWiI4d"}}},"media_ids":["141111"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/mirctech.ece.gatech.edu\/group-members\/students\/aida-vera.html","title":"Aida Vera Lopez"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=78","title":"John Papapolymerou"},{"url":"http:\/\/ims2012.mtt.org\/","title":"2012 IEEE International Microwave Symposium"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"147","name":"Military Technology"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"38421","name":"Aida Vera Lopez"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"38431","name":"IEEE International Microwave Symposium"},{"id":"1297","name":"John Papapolymerou"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
