Abstract :
A high-gain and small-area triangular monopole Antenna-on-Chip (AOC), designed using a standard CMOS process and optimized over a modified rectangular Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC). The rectangular AMC acts as a shield between the AOC and the lossy CMOS substrate. Using this configuration, a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is realized by the shield providing high wave impedance around 60 GHz. The AOC dimensions including the AMC are 0.86 mm by 1.76mm. The antenna gain is 0.3 to 1 dBi from 57 to 64 GHz.
