Mono-block Dielectric Resonator antenna with incorporated excitation for 60 GHz integrated systems

An antenna structure is presented for the front end of the 60Ghz transmitter. The solution takes into account the presence of the silicon chip that comprises the silicon-based transceiver and the interconnections between the transceiver, the antenna and the printed Circuit Board (PCB) for assembling and mounting operations. A 4.7-GHz bandwidth (@VSWR=2) is expected with a maximum gain of 6.7dBi @ 60GHz. This gain value is achieved by efficiently coupling a non resonating structure with a Dielectric Resonator (DR), The integration configuration includes flip-chip and interconnection structures.
