Abstract :
A compact micromachined meander dipole antenna, suitable for on-chip integration with 24 GHz differential SiGe circuits, is presented. By implementing the antenna on a 2.5 mm2 large, low loss BCB membrane close to free space radiation properties are obtained, despite the presence of a low resistivity silicon substrate.
