Abstract

A new on-chip Ca₅Nb₂TiO₁₂ dielectric resonator antenna for 60 GHz radio wireless systems was designed. The proposed rectangular integrated dielectric resonator antenna on conductive silicon (resistivity = 10Ω-cm) 3.2 dB simulated gain with 54% simulated radiation efficiency. With this antennae configuration it was shown that very little Si space was lost. Two amplifiers were beneath the ground plane of the antenna which had little effect on the measured performance of the antenna.
