Researchers from A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME) have developed the first compact high performance silicon-based cavity-backed slot (CBS) antenna that operates at 135 GHz. The antenna demonstrated 30 times stronger signal transmission over on-chip antennas at 135 GHz. At just 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm, approximately the size of a sesame seed, it is the smallest silicon-based CBS antenna reported to date for ready integration with active circuits.

Researchers from A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics (IME) are exploiting high radio frequency to develop future high speed wireless communication products. Using silicon-based materials, the team have successfully realised high speed chips that can wirelessly communicate data at a rate of 10 Gbps on 135 GHz band — more than...
