The proposed research pertains to the understanding and modelling of            integrated circuit discontinuities (such as coax to microstrip) and             printed circuit antennas for microwave and millimeter wave                      applications.  Recent advances by the PI in studies of integrated               circuit antennas, for example, have shown that a two layer                      substrate-superstrate configuration can yield advantages in higher              gain, efficiency, pattern omnidirectionality, and bandwidth.  Most              materials in use as substrates have anisotropy which if neglected in            modeling contributes to errors that increase with frequency.  It is             important to obtain accurate frequency dependent modelling of these             effects in order to provide the efficient computer-aided-design (CAD)           algorithms needed in the development of very high frequency monolithic          device.
