Design of an in-package coupler for PMF technology towards an automotive connectivity demonstrator

General purpose
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a coupler in a housing for PMF (Polymer Microwave Fiber), with
a bandwidth of 110-170GHz and less than 3dB loss, for use in the automotive industry as high data rate and
galvanically isolated information link. This requires significant effort as this is the first time such a structure,
operating on these frequencies, is integrated into a fully commercial technology.
An in-housing coupler offers a number of advantages such as low cost, performance and integrability with existing
mounting techniques.
