本論文之研究主要分為兩個部分，第一部分是利用TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS製程研製應用於60-GHz WPAN RFIC之射頻晶片嵌入式天線，其中包含了三角單極子天線、meander-line單極子天線、摺疊槽孔天線、縮小化槽孔天線及八木天線；且天線饋入系統皆是採用共面波導之饋入架構。量測方面已在probe station上採用on-wafer方式量測VSWR及最大天線功率增益，在內文中已探討dummy對天線輸入阻抗之影響、製程下方之損耗基底層對天線輻射場型及輻射效率之影響，以及晶片實際切割面積對天線共振頻率之影響。第二部分是無線生理監控偵測模組中的近身軟板印刷式天線之研究。
三角單極子天線方面，在50-65 GHz量測之VSWR皆小於2；60 GHz的頻率下天線增益為 -8.4 dB；晶片總面積為1.0 × 0.81 mm2。meander-line單極子天線方面，在55-65 GHz量測之VSWR皆小於2.2；60 GHz的頻率下天線增益為 -12.3 dB；晶片總面積為1.0 × 0.865 mm2。
摺疊槽孔天線方面，在55-65 GHz量測之VSWR皆小於2；60 GHz的頻率下天線增益為 -6.4 dB；晶片總面積為1.3 × 1.3 mm2。而縮小化之槽孔天線方面，在55-65 GHz量測之VSWR皆小於2；60 GHz的頻率下天線增益為 -9.3 dB；晶片總面積為1.0 × 0.95 mm2。
八木天線方面，在55-65 GHz量測之VSWR皆小於2；60 GHz的頻率下天線增益為 -10.6 dB；晶片總面積為1.39 × 1.35 mm2。由E-plane可看出輻射場型確實有向前集中之特性，且前後比(FB)約為9 dB。
近身軟板印刷式天線方面，本論文已成功設計出無線生理監控偵測模組中之軟板型meander-line單極子天線，且內文中已探討人體組織對天線各項特性所造成的效應，包含單層肌肉及三層腹部組織對天線的響應。由模擬結果得知，天線下方的人體組織中，導電率較低之脂肪層確實有阻隔肌肉層對天線吸收能量的效果；在天線下方加上floating metal之後，則可減小天線被人體組織所吸收的能量。

The thesis presents the research on two sections. The first is the 60 GHz millimeter-wave RFIC-on-chip antennas fabricated with TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS process. The antennas include a triangular monopole, a meander-line monopole, two slot antennas and a Yagi antenna. A feeding network is designed in coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology. The second is the design of a 915-MHz printed meander-line antenna and investigation of body effect on antenna radiation characteristics for wireless biometry application.
The measured VSWR of the triangular monopole antenna is less than 2 from 50 to 65 GHz. The measured maximum antenna power gain at 60 GHz is about -8.4 dB. The chip size is 1.0 × 0.81 mm2. The measured VSWR of the meaner-line monopole antenna is less than 2.2 from 55 to 65 GHz. The measured maximum antenna power gain at 60 GHz is about -12.3 dB. The chip size is 1.0 × 0.865 mm2.
The measured VSWR of the folded-slot antenna is less than 2 from 55 to 65 GHz. The measured maximum antenna power gain at 60 GHz is about -6.4 dB. The chip size is 1.3 × 1.3 mm2. The measured VSWR of the miniaturized slot antenna is less than 2 from 55 to 65 GHz. The measured maximum antenna power gain at 60 GHz is about -9.3 dB. The chip size is 1.0 × 0.95 mm2.
The measured VSWR of the Yagi antenna is less than 2 from 55 to 65 GHz. The simulated radiation pattern of E-plane performed an end-fire pattern, and the front-to-back ratio is approximately 9 dB. The measured maximum antenna power gain at 60 GHz is about -10.6 dB. The chip size is 1.39 × 1.35 mm2.
A 915-MHz meander-line printed antenna for the biometry applications the investigation of the body effect on the antenna radiation characteristics is presented. The human tissue includes single layer of muscle and three layers tissue. From the simulated results, it can be observed that the induced current in fat layer is very small due to the lowest dielectric constant and conductivity. After add floating metal, the absorbed energy of human tissue will be reduced.
