This thesis presents the design of millimeter-wave CMOS on-chip antennas, including a 60-GHz folded dipole antenna, a 60-GHz CMOS integrated Yagi-antenna and balun-filter, a 77-GHz dipole antenna using artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) to increase the radiation efficiency (from 5% to 15%), and a 60-GHz CMOS integrated on-chip AMC-antenna and balun-filter for a mm-wave sub-harmonic receiver RF front-end. The three-dimensional (3-D) EM simulator HFSS is used for design simulation. The on-chip antennas are fabricated with TSMC CMOS 0.18-μm and 90-nm process, respectively. The performances of the designed millimeter-wave CMOS on-chip antennas are all conducted by using the on-wafer measurement setup.
