Abstract :
This paper describes a simple and accurate method to measure the radiation efficiency of millimeter-wave on-chip antennas. Based on the Wheeler method a cap is designed which is compatible with the coplanar waveguide feed of the antenna. This method is applied to a 35 GHz on-chip antennas. the measured efficiency is compared with the simulated radiation e.
