Metamaterial CRLH antennas on silicon substrate for millimeter-wave integrated circuits

Abstract

The paper presents two composite right/left-handed (CRLH) coplanar waveguide (CPW) zeroth-order resonant (ZOR) antennas which were designed, processed, and electrically characterized for applications in the millimetric wave frequency range. Two CRLH antennas were developed for f=27 GHz and f=38.5, GHz, respectively. The CRLH antenna on f=27 GHz shows a return loss of RL
