Abstract :
This paper presents a feasibility study of on-chip integrated antennas design for wireless interconnects. First the state-of the-art of on-chip integrated antenna designs are reviewed based on the low cost mainstream silicon process technologies. Then, several structures of on-chip antennas have been analyzed, using Sonnet Suites. The simulation results provide the design guidelines for further wireless interconnect realization with CMOS technology
