Abstract:
A waveguide coupling system may include at least one waveguide member retention structure disposed on an exterior surface of a semiconductor package. The waveguide member retention structure may be disposed a defined distance or at a defined location with respect to an antenna carried by the semiconductor package. The waveguide member retention structure may engage and guide a waveguide member slideably inserted into the respective waveguide member retention structure. The waveguide member retention structure may position the waveguide member at a defined location with respect to the antenna to maximize the power transfer from the antenna to the waveguide member.
