Wafer Level Antenna Design at 20 GHz

Abstract : This prototype design demonstrates that a compact, efficient, and affordable wafer level antenna is realizable and can be processed along with microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology on the same material. A coplanar fed proximity coupled patch antenna was ultimately designed to operate at a frequency around 20 GHz (K-Band) for proof-of-concept. Simulation data is compared with the experimental data for validation of model designs.
