| Summary: | With the rapid growth of big-data wireless for mobile applications, there is an
emerging need to explore on-chip antenna design, especially in the CMOS process.
Achieving high efficiency within compact area is the primary challenge for an onchip
antenna. For example, the traditional microstrip antenna, popularly known for
its compatibility with the design of radio-frequency and monolithic microwave
integrated circuits, has inherent disadvantages such as low impedance bandwidth,
low gain, poor end fire radiation and surface wave excitation loss with thick
substrates. |
