A method for gain measurement of embedded on-chip antennas in mmW/THz range is presented. In this method, the radiation pattern is first measured in a quasi-optical configuration using a power detector. Subsequently, the radiated power is estimated from the integration over the radiation pattern....
meandered loop antenna sizeA significantly miniaturised meandered loop on-chip antenna (MeLOCA) for communication at 9.45 GHz has been proposed. First, a meandered loop antenna size is reduced and its gain is enhanced by introducing a partially shield layer (PSL). Then, the antenna size is ...
A 60-GHz CMOS transmitter with on-chip antenna for high-speed short-range wireless interconnections is presented. The radiation gain of the on-chip antenna is doubled using helium-3 ion irradiation technique. The transmitter core is composed of a resistive-feedback RF amplifier, a double-balance...
The antenna gain and radiation efficiency were measured using the setup shown in Fig.3a. The photograph of the measurement setup is shown in Fig.3b. Signal source from the Rohde & Schwarz SMF 100A was injected into a D-band quad-mixer extender. The transmission signal from the mixer was a...
A wide impedance-bandwidth and gain-bandwidth terahertz (THz) on-chip antenna (OCA) with chip-integrated dielectric resonator (CIDR) backed by a ground plane is proposed in this article. The antenna uses the inherent silicon substrate in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies as...
