Some embodiments relate to a semiconductor module comprising a low-cost integrated antenna that uses a conductive backside structure in conjunction with a ground metal layer to form a large ground plane with a small silicon area. In some embodiments, the integrated antenna structure has an excitable element that radiates electromagnetic radiation. An on-chip ground plane, located on a first side of an interposer substrate, is positioned below the excitable element. A compensation ground plane, located on an opposing side of the interposer substrate, is connected to the ground plane by one or more through-silicon vias (TSVs) that extend through the interposer substrate. The on-chip ground plane and the compensation ground collectively act to reflect the electromagnetic radiation generated by the excitable element, so that the compensation ground improves the performance of the on-chip ground plane.
