  • A flexible Pcell-driven design flow for mm-wave on-chip passives 
    Stander, Tinus; IEEE International Microwave and RF Conference (2015 : Hyderabad, India) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-12)
    On-chip EM modeling at mm-wave frequencies requires design methods that incorporate the layout and verification macros of IC EDA tools with parameterized EM CAD. We propose a novel, flexible design flow for 3D EM modeling ...
  • A frequency agile switched delay line slow-wave 
    Sinha, Saurabh; Bhana, V.B. (Vishal); Stander, Tinus; International Conference on Radioelektronika, 23rd : 2013 : Pardubice, Czech Republic (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013-04)
    A mm-wave BiCMOS back-end metallization switched delay line frequency agile filter is presented. Miniaturization of the delay lines is achieved by using slow-wave propagation modes on shielded CPWs, with a standard ...
  • Inactivating pathogenic micro-organisms through microwave sterilization technology 
    Sinha, Saurabh; Stander, Tinus; Du Preez, Jaco; International Symposium on Electrodynamic and Mechatronic System (SELM) 2013 : Opole-Zawiercie (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013-05)
    Microwave heating as a means of inactivating pathogenic micro-organisms in commercially produced food products in sterilization and pasteurization processes is discussed in this paper. The physics of a microwave heating ...
  • Inline Ka-band transitional combline / evanescent-mode filter in conventional RF substrate using grounded vias 
    Stander, Tinus; IEEE Africon (2015 : Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-09)
    The Ka-band is considered a viable band for future 5G backhaul links. Planar filters in this frequency range have low aspect ratios for substrates thicker than 10 mil, since the required 50 Ω line width becomes comparable ...
  • L-band tapered-ridge SIW-to-CPW transion 
    Smith, James Nathan; Stander, Tinus; International Conference on Actual Problems of Electron Devices Engineering (APEDE) (2014 : Saratov, Russia) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014)
    A tapered ridge transition between coplanar waveguide and substrate-integrated waveguide is presented. The taper is implemented through staircase metallization across 10 layers of conventional RF substrate with sidewall ...
  • An on-chip post-production tunable group delay equaliser 
    Osuch, Piotr Jan; Stander, Tinus; International Conference on Actual Problems of Electron Devices Engineering (APEDE) (2014 : Saratov, Russia) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014)
    A design method for distributed element on-chip post-production tunable group delay equalising networks is presented. It is shown that a number of adjustable Darlington C-sections can be used to equalise the group delay ...
  • Oscillation-based test in a CCII-based bandpass filter 
    Osuch, Piotr Jan; Stander, Tinus; Petrashin Pablo; Toledo, Luis; Lancioni, Walter (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-02)
    Oscillation based testing (OBT) has proven to be a simple yet effective VLSI test for numerous circuit types. In this work, OBT is applied to test Second-generation Current Conveyor (CCII) based filters for the first ...
  • A review of key development areas in low-cost packaging and integration of future E-band mm-wave transceivers 
    Stander, Tinus; IEEE Africon (2015 : Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-09)
    With an ever increasing number of broadband applications in sub-Saharan Africa, mm-wave point-to-point networking has the potential to fill a niche in communications network architectures. Widespread adoption of this ...
  • Waveguide power combiner with adjustable amplitude and phase response 
    Stander, Tinus; Sinha, Saurabh; International Conference on Radioelektronika (23rd : 2013 : Pardubice, Czech Republic) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013)
    Maximum gain from combining multiple high-power signals is achieved by equalising both the amplitude and phase of the combination. Achieving in-phase and equal amplitude power combining with amplifiers of unequal gain and ...
