Compact On-Chip Monopole Antennas on 20-Ω-cm Silicon Substrates for Operation in the 5.8-GHz ISM Band

摘要

An antenna operating at 5.8GHz, which can be used to communicate over 30m, is integrated onto a 20-Ω-cm silicon substrate. The range is more than 6X larger than the previously reported results using a pair of 3-mm long zigzag dipole antennas operating at 24GHz, which are ～30% smaller. The ground plane of this monopole antenna can be a part of on-chip matching network.
