“…The set of above-mentioned requirements can best be achieved by designing these two sections using Si-based technologies and thus the use of the AoC is highly promising. Few such systems based on the AoCs have already been proposed [84], [112] which are also enlisted in Table 1, and 3 and demonstrate the suitability of the AoCs for this application. Besides these, one AoC based WNoC has been designed in [84] at k-band (26-40 GHz).…”

The ever-growing demand for low power, high performance, cost-effective, low-profile, and highly integrated wireless systems for emerging applications has triggered the need for the enormous innovations in wireless transceiver systems, components, architectures and technologies. This is especially valid for the antenna which is an integral component of the wireless transceiver systems and contributes significantly in determining their overall performance. Antenna-on-Chip (AoC) is an alternative antenna technology, which has drawn a substantial attention in recent days because of its various benefits over off-chip antenna technology. A few of these benefits include miniaturization, low power, low cost, and high integration of the wireless modules. Motivated by these valuable advantages and to unveil the true potential of the AoCs, this article presents, for the first time, a comprehensive survey of the suitability, advantages, and challenges of the AoCs for the emerging wireless applications such as 5th generation (5G) Wireless Systems, Internet-of-Things (IoT) Wireless Devices and Systems, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Interconnects, Wireless Energy Transfer, Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Harvesting, Biomedical Implants, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Autonomous vehicles, Innovative characterization methods for Integrated Circuits (ICs) and Antennas, and Smart City. In addition, this article presents the current stateof-the-art of the AoC's applications by classifying their applications in Millimeter-Wave (MM-Wave) band, Terahertz (THz) band, and low-frequency bands. The article also investigates and describes some useful methods for the mitigation of the challenges and issues posed by the emerging applications for the realization of the AoCs in a systematic manner. A concise description of the future directions of the AoCs with respect to each emerging application is also a part of this article. It is expected that this well-structured and organized survey will not only act as an excellent source of scholarship for the relevant research community, but also open up a world of novel research opportunities.

“…Property of spp waves in graphene help in extreme miniaturization of the antenna size with good performance. Most of the antennas designed in 0-1 THz band are given in [4,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]45]. The graphene-based microstrip patch antenna is designed on silicon substrate with gain 2.43-4.19 dB, efficiency 48-51%, and return loss 13-26 dB [35].…”

Reconfiguration array antenna is usually achieved in terms of pattern, frequency, and polarization by changing the relative amplitudes, phases of the excitation distribution, and material characteristics present in the array, at the cost of simple and complex feeding networks both. In this chapter, basically different types of array antennas are discussed with its design with reconfigurations. Also, for high generation communication system, a widely used graphene material is taken to get reconfiguration in antenna using array form. There are so many other techniques being used and discussed to get reconfiguration. To get reconfiguration at high frequency, i.e., terahertz frequency, graphene is the best material to use in antenna to solve many applications nowadays compared with only few materials, which is useful design. Here, few designs have been introduced to understand the reconfiguration in array antenna for broadband applications. The proposed chapter represents advancement on the development of multipurpose antennas having different applications in communication, broad banding, detection, etc., in recent research systems.

“…Moreover, there is more available bandwidth for the OCA in the sub-terahertz and terahertz frequency bands, which is beneficial for extremely high-data-rate communication systems. Recently, considerable research has focused on the sub-terahertz and terahertz OCA designs, which can be applied in multiple important applications, such as high-data-rate communication systems, short-range radar systems, medical detections, and imaging [53,[65][66][67][68][69][70][71]. In [65], a 340 GHz patch OCA is realized and integrated with a receiver front-end in 40 nm CMOS technology, which is a good candidate for the applications of THz biomedical imaging.…”

“…This antenna achieves a high gain of 24 dBi by packaging the chip with a silicon lens. In addition, the antenna has a large bandwidth of more than 50 GHz, which makes it possible for the overall system to achieve a high data rate of 24 Gbps for a communication range of 3 m. Other than the investigation of sub-terahertz OCAs, some examples demonstrate the CMOS OCA designs in terahertz frequencies [68][69][70][71]. For example, in [70], a graphene patch antenna is proposed for a wireless on-chip network at 2.5 THz.…”
