Radiation pattern measurement set-up for 60 GHz on-chip antennas

In this paper, we present a radiation pattern measurement setup for on-chip antennas operating in the non-licensed 60 GHz band. The measurement of an Inverted-F Antenna integrated on CMOS process is reported to illustrate the capabilities of this setup. The antenna shows a -10dB matching bandwidth of 20% at 60 GHz and a maximum gain of -6 dBi. The total efficiency is estimated to be 10%.
