Ultra thin low profile U band folded meta-material wideband dipole antenna for multi-Gb/s data transmission using 65 nm CMOS technology

This paper proposes a novel 60 GHz antenna using meta-material structured surface cavity. The antenna has low profile (thin substrate layer), making it suitable for monolithic integration using CMOS technology. The simulated results show that the antenna has a bandwidth of 7GHz around 60 GHz with a gain of 4.6 dB. Mask design of the antenna is currently under way. Fabrication and characterization is expected soon.
