Episode How Chips Are Putting Antennas on Silicon for Next-Gen Wireless
Over the last five years, engineers have figured out how to etch antennas directly onto silicon chips, eliminating the need for external antenna components in millimeter-wave systems. This episode explores the physics challenges – antenna sizes, dielectric losses, and interference – and highlights a real-world case: the 2025 launch of a commercial phased-array chip from a startup called MixComm, now shipping to 5G infrastructure providers. Lucas and Luna discuss how on-chip antennas are reshaping device design for 6G, automotive radar, and satellite communication.
