Abstract :
This paper reports on the design of a broadband lens-integrated differentially-driven circular slot on-chip antenna for a 240 GHz power source implemented in a SiGe HBT technology. The circular slot is excited by 2 sectorial patch probes located in the antenna aperture, whereby the mutual coupling between them is exploited to extend the antenna operation bandwidth in the lower range of the operation frequency. The antenna allows a frequency-unlimited operation of the multiplier-chain based power source with a peak radiated power of at least 1.18mW at 250 GHz and in excess of 100μW for 222-276 GHz.
