The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated antenna structure. The structure includes an excitable element and a first ground plane. The first ground plane is disposed between a first surface of a semiconductor substrate and the excitable element. A first line that is normal to the first surface of the semiconductor substrate extends through both the first ground plane and the excitable element. A second ground plane is separated from the first ground plane by the semiconductor substrate. The second ground plane is electrically coupled to the first ground plane.
