Abstract

A RFIC-on-chip antenna and broad-band power amplifier in 0.18 um CMOS is presented. The HFSS 3-D EM simulator is employed for design simulation. 2.4GHz antenna has been realized. The measured VSWR is less than 2 from 2.4 GHz. This propose super quadric wireless antenna in free space, electromagnetic coupling between super quadric antenna and human body and rectangular antenna for intelligent computer and communications applications. The measured phase distribution of the input impedance is quite linear and the H-plane patterns are almost omnidirectional and microwave amplifier embedded with low-pass filter integration. RFIC-on-chip antenna and merger T/R-switch design on single chip solution for 2.4GHz CMOS transceiver RF front-end. A least square scheme is used to obtain characteristic impedances of transmission line elements that form the amplifier having flat gain in the pass-band and sharp rejection in the stop-band. Measured results are employed to verify the novel design method.
