Abstract :
A novel high-efficiency on-chip W-Band microstrip antenna is designed in a commercial SiGe process (IBM 8HP). The antenna has a measured gain of 2-4 dB and an efficiency of 50-57% at 92-98 GHz. An ASK receiver including a W-Band SPDT, LNA, and power detector is integrated with the antenna and is used to demonstrate a low-power 94 GHz 3-Gb/s on-chip wireless data link.
