New data are presented on the performance of thick film multilayer microwave components in the frequency range 30–40 GHz. It was seen that the performance of a novel microwave DC block has been enhanced through the use of broadside coupling between conductors in a multilayer structure. Very good results have shown that low loss and wideband performance at low mm-wave frequencies can be achieved through direct thick film printing. The effects of the properties of the materials employed are discussed in the context of minimum cost structures.
