Embodiment Construction

[0039]Certain aspects of the invention may be found in a method and system for a leaky wave antenna on an integrated circuit package. Exemplary aspects of the invention may comprise communicating RF signals using one or more leaky wave antennas in a wireless device. The leaky wave antennas may be integrated in metal layers in an integrated circuit package, and a resonant frequency of the leaky wave antennas may be dependent on one or more cavity heights associated with the metal layers. At least a portion of the one or more cavity heights may be configured utilizing micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) deflection. The RF signals may comprise 60 GHz signals. The leaky wave antennas may comprise microstrip waveguides, where a cavity height of the leaky wave antennas may be dependent on a spacing between conductive lines in the microstrip waveguides. The leaky wave antennas may comprise coplanar waveguides where a cavity height of the leaky wave antennas may be dependent on a spacin...

Abstract

Methods and systems for a leaky wave antenna LWA on an integrated circuit (IC) package are disclosed and may include communicating RF signals using one or more LWAs in a wireless device. The LWAs may be integrated in metal layers in an IC package, and a resonant frequency of the LWAs may be dependent on cavity heights associated with the metal layers. The cavity heights may be configured utilizing micro-electro-mechanical systems deflection. The RF signals may include 60 GHz signals. The LWAs may include microstrip and/or coplanar waveguides where a cavity height of the LWAs may be dependent on a spacing between conductive lines in the waveguides. The LWAs may be configured to transmit the wireless signals at a desired angle from a surface of the IC package. The IC package may be affixed to a printed circuit board, and an IC may be flip-chip-bonded to the IC package.
