Abstract

In this paper, a wideband 60GHz patch antenna with uniplanar Compact Photonic Band Gap (UC-PBG) and Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) building on 0.13um CMOS technique was proposed. The silicon substrate of CMOS technology affects the antenna efficiency a lot. The meta-material structure in this paper has partly eliminated the loss. According to the unlicensed frequency band announced for commercial use, this antenna was designed to operate from 54GHz to 66GHz that made a full covering of this unlicensed band. Comprised to other on-chip antenna, it obtained a 2dB gain enhancement at least.
