A method for forming packaged electronic device structure includes providing a conductive leadframe. The leadframe can include a die pad with a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, and a plurality of conductive leads. The method can include coupling an electronic device to the plurality of conductive leads. The method can include providing an antenna structure, which can include a conductive pillar structure and an elongated conductive beam structure. The method can include providing a package body encapsulating the electronic device, at least portions of each conductive lead, and at least portions of the die pad. In an example, the conductive pillar structure can extend from the first package body surface to the second package body surface, the elongated conductive beam structure can be disposed adjoining the first package body surface and is electrically connected to the conductive pillar structure, and at least a portion of the elongated conductive beam structure is exposed outside of the package body.
