Two on‐chip slot antennas resonating near 30 GHz with different widths (10 and 100 μm) in standard 0.18 μm CMOS are presented. S21 between two 10 μm width slot antennas and between two 100 μm width ones both with ∼3 mm distance through free space is measured. The results indicate that designing on‐chip slot antennas with standard CMOS process is feasible, which will support farther improvement of CMOS integration. The slot antennas can be used in compact and low cost transceivers for short range wireless communications. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
