DESCRIPTION:Antennas are integral part of wireless communication devices an
 d traditionally have remained off the Integrated Circuits (ICs which are a
 lso commonly known as chips) resulting in large sized modules. In the last
  decade\, the increased level of integration provided by silicon technolog
 ies and emerging applications at millimeter wave frequencies has helped to
  achieve true System-on-Chip solutions bringing the antennas on the chip. 
 This is because antenna sizes at these frequencies become small enough for
  practical on-chip realization. Though\, there are a number of benefits of
  putting antennas on-chip\, such as monolithic integration resulting in co
 mpact systems\, robustness due to absence of bond wires or other connectio
 n mechanisms between the antenna and the circuits\, lower cost due to mass
  manufacturing in standard CMOS processes\, etc. However\, there are a num
 ber of challenges to overcome\, for instance dealing with silicon substrat
 e high conductivity and permittivity (resulting in poor radiation efficien
 cy)\, metal stack-up and layout restrictions\, and on-chip characterizatio
 n through delicate probes\, etc. Furthermore\, the co-design of circuits a
 nd antenna which sometime have contradicting requirements need knowledge o
 f both the domains. This talk aims to discuss the above challenges in deta
 il as well as the proposed solutions. In particular\, many design examples
  will be shown for the gain and radiation efficiency enhancement of on-chi
 p antennas through artificial magnetic conductors. The talk will conclude 
 with the upcoming trends in the field of on-chip antennas.\n\nSpeaker(s):
