This dissertation focuses on the development of next generation wireless
communications at millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz frequencies. As wireless
providers experience a bandwidth shortage and cellular subscribers demand
faster data rates and more reliable service, a push towards unused carriers fre-
quencies such as 28 GHz, 60 GHz, and 180 GHz will alleviate network conges-
tion while simultaneously providing massive bandwidths to consumers. This
dissertation summarizes research in understanding millimeter-wave wireless
propagation, the design and fabrication of millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz
on-chip antenna arrays on an integrated circuit semiconductor process, and
the accurate measurement of on-chip antenna radiation patterns in a wafer
probe station environment. / text
