Abstract :
This letter presents a monolithically integrated on-chip antenna fabricated in 0.18 μm standard CMOS technology. As the antenna is used for power scavenging in a passive chip, it is designed to be matched with the rectifier circuit. The letter describes the important design considerations and the antenna characterization through measurements.
