Miniaturization of mobile handsets and other wireless equipment is limited by the slow progress in integrating passive elements. Two novel technologies Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) offer the capacity to significantly miniaturise RF and microwave circuits and increase their efficiency and capabilities. The proposal deals with development of novel microwave technologies and techniques for optimization, characterization, simulation, design and fabrication of advanced LTCC materials and LTCC and MEMS based miniaturized circuits for 3G and beyond of Wireless Communication. The outcomes of the project will be of significant benefit to the Australian Telecommunications industry.Read moreRead less

The proposed Material Characterisation Facility using non-destructive methods will be unique to Australia. Precise characterisation of advanced materials such as dielectrics and superconductors using the facility will progress emerging technologies within the electronic and communication research area. The inclusion of a microwave scanning test bed within the laboratory will allow engineers, scientists, biologists and medical scientists to safely detect the intrinsic electromagnetic properties of electronic materials and tumours in biological tissues or poor quality agricultural produce. This comprehensive material characterisation facility will therefore benefit the peoples of Australasia in many significant and diverse ways.Read moreRead less
