Abstract

A novel design of millimeter-wave antennas integrated with a high-impedance surface (HIS) reflector is presented within the particular context of 3D heterogeneous integration on silicon interposer an its specific requirements. Then, the design steps of a 60-GHz folded dipole antenna for short-range communications are detailed. Simulation and measurement results show promising performances in terms of gain and radiation efficiency while a bandwidth enhancement method is proposed for future designs. Process and fabrication issues are addressed and an experimental validation is proposed with a DC/RF test vehicle.
