Abstract
An antenna array using in-package bondwire to perform beamforming for 60 GHz applications is presented. 1 mil gold bondwire designed to resonate at 60 GHz was employed as an antenna array to provide smaller area and a cheaper way to manufacture it. The overall size of the bondwire antenna array on a CMOS chip is 1 3 mm2 and its radiation pattern shows fair agreement with simulation results.
