A system comprising a host and a network interface card or host bus adapter. According to embodiments, the CMOS image sensor may include a semiconductor substrate, an interlayer insulating layer, a color filter layer, an overcoat layer, and a plurality of microlenses. The top coat material may be used in lithography processes, wherein the top coat material is applied on a photoresist layer. A wideband millimeter-wave antenna includes a cosecant-squared reflector enabling signal propagation between network elements thereby enabling seamless wireless communications.
