Cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna excited by on-chip integrated slot for a completely packaged 60 GHz front-end solution

In this paper, a completely packaged solution is presented for high data rate radio front end operating around 60 GHz. A cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna is micromachined as a part of the package surrounding other active elements. This resonator is magnetically coupled to a nearby integrated coplanar-fed slotted dipole. Simulation results show a 6.1GHz impedance matching bandwidth (VSWR=2) with a gain greater than 5dBi throughout the entire bandwidth.
