On-Chip Antenna Design: Tools and Layout Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This invited ·contribution provides insights for implementation of millimeter-wave and terahertz wireless systems on a chip (MTWSOC). We present an overview of important software and simulation tools and key layout issues and design rules for millimeter-wave (mmWave) circuits. An example of a recently fabricated 0.18,um CMOS integrated circuit by the Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG) at The University of Texas at Austin is presented. The example chip includes 60 GHz on-chip antennas, an array of transmission lines, and IMPATT diodes.

Superconducting Microstrip-Fed Antenna Coupled to a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector
A proper antenna to couple to a microstrip Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) is designed and simulated. A twin-slot microstrip-fed inline antenna is designed for frequency band of 600-720~GHz integrated with an elliptical lens and coupled to the MKID. A systematic design procedure for design of such antenna with microstrip inline feeding is presented. Whole structure of lens and twin...

This paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of Lean Manufacturing. The lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing Kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. To improve ...
متن کاملDesign Methodology for Mixed-Domain Systems-on-a-Chip
Digital design tools such as logic synthesis, semicustom layout and behavioral simulation have drastically changed the digital IC design process, enabling design of complex “systems on a chip”. The usefulness of such chips are limited in a world dominated by information that is not represented by 0s and 1s. Overcoming these limitations has led to mixed-signal, and mixed-domain technologies. We ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Chip Floor-planning
During last decade, microfluidic chips proved to be a powerful instrument in microbiology and biological chemistry. [1] Still, microfluidics has lots of unrealized potential partially due to a lack of adequate design tools. In this project, we’ll deal with one of the chip layout generation tools, the floor-planner. Schematically, a chip layout is shown in figure 1. In the plot, rectangles repre...
متن کاملطراحی و ساخت آنتن مایکرواستریپ سه بانده و دوپلاریزه برای BTS
In this paper, a simple dual-band dual-polarized aperture stacked patch antenna with double sided notch is presented. This antenna is suitable for operation in telecommunication base stations. One of the bands covers the GSM band, while the other covers both DCS and UMTS bands. The proposed antenna shows good port decoupling of less than -30dB for dual linear polarization over its operating ban...
