    Abstract: Embodiments include package structures having integrated waveguides to enable high data rate communication between package components. For example, a package structure includes a package substrate having an integrated waveguide, and first and second integrated circuit chips mounted to the package substrate. The first integrated circuit chip is coupled to the integrated waveguide using a first transmission line to waveguide transition, and the second integrated circuit chip is coupled to the integrated waveguide using a second transmission line to waveguide transition. The first and second integrated circuit chips are configured to communicate by transmitting signals using the integrated waveguide within the package carrier.

    Abstract: An antenna package 105, which may include an RFIC 102, includes a multilayer substrate 110. The package includes an antenna array 152, which may be formed on a cover 150 of the package, antenna feed lines 112,114 and resistive transmission lines (352,354 fig. 3B). The antenna array includes active antenna elements (320 fig.3A) and dummy antenna elements (350 fig.3A) surrounding the active elements. Each active element is coupled to an antenna feed line and each dummy antenna element is coupled to a resistive transmission line. Each resistive transmission line extends through the multilayer substrate and is terminated in a same metallization layer of the multilayer package substrate. Dual polarisation may be facilitated by orthogonal feeds (201,203 fig. 2A) whilst ground planes and conductive vias (648 fig. 6B) may be used to provide isolation. A connector package (542 fig. 5) may be used instead of the package cover in order to facilitate testing of the RFIC or to connect to an external antenna array. The package may form a wireless communication package.
