“…Such arrangement can also benefit from an off-chip ground to enhance radiation through reflection of the substrate-absorbed power. Though power lost in substrate and surface waves would still be a problem, on-chip antennas can be realized for shortrange communication [7]. Another option is to use the backside of the substrate for radiation [5].…”

Abstract-This paper highlights the challenges of an emergent field, namely, on-chip antenna design. Consistent with the RF System-on-Chip (SoC) concept, co-design strategy for circuits and on-chip antennas is described. A number of design and layout issues, arising from the highly integrated nature of this kind of systems, are discussed. The characterization difficulties related to on-chip antennas radiation properties are also highlighted. Finally, a novel on-wafer test fixture is proposed to measure the gain and radiation pattern of the on-chip antennas in the anechoic chamber.

“…One of the main problems of using V connector is that due to the geometry of the connector adaptor, the end of the transmission line of the AUT has to be tapered to fit the adaptor, which can affect significantly the return loss and radiation pattern of the AUT. Therefore, probe-feed-based antenna-pattern measurement techniques are of great interest and have been studied in the 60 GHz band [13], [14] and at lower frequencies [15], [16], [17]. The advantages of this method are that it reduces the cost as well as the measurement and design time of the antenna.…”

“…Antennas that are designed to radiate into the bulk substrate exhibit very low radiation efficiency due to high ohmic losses and coupling to substrate modes [1]. These antennas are also sensitive to structures on the chip, making them difficult to design reliably [2].…”

This paper presents a W-band on-chip elliptical slot antenna fabricated in the IBM CMOS8RF (0.13 μm) process. This antenna has a measured efficiency of 7% and a measured gain of -5.7 dB at 88 -90 GHz. The measured impedance bandwidth is 3.1%. Although it is not efficient as a standalone element for RFIC applications, the elliptical slot is very promising as a feed for an extended hemispherical lens. Simulated results indicate that the antenna efficiency improves to 30% at 90 GHz using a quartz dielectric lens, with an impedance bandwidth of 4.4%. The simulated gain at 90 GHz is 15 dB when placed on 12 mm diameter lens, ideal for high gain silicon RFIC applications.
