    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems, devices, and methods for an antenna assembly included in an integrated circuit (IC) package. The antenna assembly may be used for near field wireless communication such as package-to-package and/or chip-to-chip communication. The antenna assembly may include a feed plate (e.g., a top feed) that is capacitively coupled to a first via and a second via. The feed plate may further be capacitively coupled to a loading structure. The first via may be conductively coupled to a ground potential. In some embodiments, the antenna assembly may further include a stub structure (e.g., an open stub or a short stub) that is conductively coupled to the second via. An impedance matching network may be coupled between the feed plate and an IC die that communicates using the antenna assembly. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: A lens antenna system is disclosed. The lens antenna system comprises a hybrid focal source antenna circuit configured to generate a source antenna beam for integration with different lens structures. In some embodiments, the hybrid focal source antenna circuit comprises a set of antenna elements coupled to one another. In some embodiments, the set of antenna elements comprises a first antenna element configured to be excited in a first spherical mode; and a second antenna element configured to be excited in a second, different, spherical mode. In some embodiments, the first spherical mode and the second spherical mode are co-polarized. In some embodiments, the lens antenna system further comprises a lens configured to shape the source antenna beam associated with the hybrid focal source antenna circuit, in order to provide an output antenna beam.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are antenna modules, electronic assemblies, and communication devices. An example antenna module includes an IC component, an antenna patch support over a face of the IC component, and a stack of antenna patches vertically arranged at least partially above one another, where a first antenna patch of the stack is an antenna patch closest to the IC component, and a second antenna patch of the stack is an antenna patch closest to the first antenna patch. The first antenna patch is on the face of the IC component while the second and further antenna patches of the stack are on or in the antenna patch support and are electrically isolated from all electrically conductive material pathways in the antenna patch support and in the IC component.

    Abstract: A radar device may include a digital to analog converter (DAC) stage. The DAC stage may generate a plurality of analog signals. The DAC stage may generate a different analog signal for each transmitter chain of a plurality of transmitter chains. Each analog signal of the plurality of analog signals may represent a single digital signal. Each transmitter chain of the plurality of transmitter chains may include a transmit chain portion and switched analog beamforming network (BFN). The transmit chain portion may generate a plurality of intermediate analog signals representative of the corresponding analog signal. The switched analog BFN may generate a plurality of analog transmit signals for an intermediate analog signal of the plurality of intermediate analog signals. The plurality of analog transmit signals may include a beam formed in accordance with a state of the switched analog BFN.
