Abstract :
The paper presents several feasible millimeter wave on-chip antenna designs suitable to be fabricated in CMOS technology without any additional process. The results are listed and compared with state-of-the-art designs in the literature. The difficulties in designing high efficiency antenna on CMOS chip are discussed.
