Low-cost, IPD and laminate based antenna array module
Abstract:
An antenna array module includes two or more antenna elements arranged in an array, each of the two or more antenna elements formed as a respective integrated passive device (IPD), and a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) including one or more metal layers forming one or more feed lines of the antenna elements. The antenna array module may include a radio frequency (RF) front end integrated circuit disposed on an opposite side of the multi-layer PCB from the two or more antenna elements. One or more signal output pins of the RF front end integrated circuit may be connected to the one or more feed lines. The antenna array module may include conductive contacts external to the multi-layer PCB for routing input signals through the multi-layer PCB to one or more signal input pins of the RF front end integrated circuit.
