Outline of Final Research Achievements

A patch antenna with parallel feed is fabricated on a thick resin (200um) of a silicon chip in the 60GHz band and high radiation efficiency of 79% is achieved in experiment. A monopole antenna using a semi-ridged coaxial cable is discussed in the 60GHz band to bury in a 4x3mm-size oscillator chip. A 2x2-element patch array on a silicon chip is connected with a separated oscillator chip and the oscillation in the 60GHz band is observed. An optical wave modulated with a 60GHz-band wave is sent to a patch antenna with a photo detector by an optical fiber and radiation patterns of the 60GHz-band wave are measured.
