A High-Integration On-Chip Reconfigurable Monopole

Abstract

In this paper, a silicon-based high-integration frequency reconfigurable monopole is designed. This antenna is designed on silicon wafer, and all manufacturing steps are completely compatible with silicon process. This method can integrate silicon-based antenna into communication system easily. To further improve the antenna’s integration, an optimized band stop filter is introduced into the antenna system to replace the conventional capacitor and inductor, and measurement results confirm the usefulness of this filter. Based on these results, the designed monopole achieved two frequency configurations at 3.23 GHz and 4.48 GHz, and other radiation parameters are also shown good results.
