Abstract

In this paper, a novel compact CPW-fed slot small antenna was designed and fabricated on high-resistivity silicon (HR-Si) by micro-electronics process. The results of simulation are consistent with results of measurement for the antenna. The mode of the antenna is vertical and horizontal bidirectional radiations. The gain of antenna is 2.5 dB, and the resonance frequency approximately is 3 GHz. This fabrication can be compatible with antenna integration and CMOS process. The parameters of this antenna are for reference radar antenna system of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), satellite transmission, and communication.
