Abstract
Apparatus, system, and method are described for a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit device having a first metal layer that includes a radiating element and a second metal layer that includes a first conductor coupled to the radiating element. The first conductor and the radiating element are mutually coupled to form an antenna to wirelessly communicate a signal.
