The ink-jet printing of microstrip lines on ferroelectric ceramic-polymer composites and its characterization in sub-THz range

In this paper the application of the ink-jet printing technology to microstrip line fabrication on tunable ferroelectric ceramic-polymer composites for devices operating at sub-terahertz range have been presented. Measurement results shown that the designed material is usable for creating structures able to tune some their electromagnetic characteristics. Relatively low temperature technology process (ink-jet printing technology) is able to deposit conductive lines on the ceramic polymer. The ink-jet printed silver microstrip lines can operate at sub-terahertz range.
