Abstract

This paper focuses on an integrated fractal antenna on HR SOI silicon substrate. The antenna is based on a double-slotted dipole antenna. A technology overview is provided in the first section. Then the concerned designed resonant structures are depicted and compared. Simulations are performed on Ansoft HFSS 3D electromagnetic software, and measurements are completed with an on-wafer test bench.
