J-Band Arrays Incorporating 1-D EBG Antenna in Nanoscale CMOS Process

Abstract

This paper presents a J-band arrays incorporating inverted-L antenna (ILA) with 1-D EBG and SRR structures based on nanoscale CMOS process for sub-terahertz (sub-THz) applications. In order to realize reliable fast design and performance verification of array antenna on CMOS process, the precedent researches on the transmission line test samples for effective dielectric material properties extraction of dummy filling have been investigated. The antenna based on the effective material properties is designed and characterized using 1×8 T-junction power dividers and low-coupled antenna element in compressed linear array configuration with 0.39λ0 inter-element spacing.
