Abstract

Integrated antennas were fabricated on bulk, SOI, and SOS substrates, and characterized. A measurement set-up was developed for integrated antenna characterization. The measurements confirm power transmission through radiation and show reasonable gains at high frequencies (>15 GHz). Antenna input impedances were extracted and modeled to aid receiver and transmitter circuit design. The measurements suggest that radio communication within and between ICs using antennas may be feasible
