Summary:
In this paper an on-chip antenna solution for highspeed millimeter wave wireless integrated transceivers in CMOS is presented. Accurate design and analysis of the complete 3D antenna structure has lead to an efficiency as high as 69% and an input bandwidth of 48GHz. A peak antenna gain of 4.4dBi is also achieved. The bondwire dipole is fabricated on a 45nm CMOS chip as part of a fully integrated 120GHz wireless communication front end. Measurements of the E-plane and H-plane radiation pattern are in good agreement with the simulation results.
