Design, simulation, and optimization of an on-chip bow-tie slot antenna using genetic algorithm

Design, simulation, and optimization of a novel (extremely) broad-band coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed on-chip antenna using genetic algorithm (GA) is presented. The antenna is of slot type and has the shape of a bow-tie with rounded truncation. It is designed on quartz coated silicon substrate and fed with 50 ohms CPW transmission line. Return loss of the antenna is less than -10 dB for most of the frequency range of 5-60 GHz
