Abstract:
|
An antenna-in-package (AiP) design offers an elegant
antenna solution to modern single-chip RF transceivers. The AiP
design that integrates an antenna or antennas with a single-chip
RF transceiver die into a standard surface mounted device represents
an innovative and important development in the miniaturization
of radio systems in recent years. In this paper, we present
a novel AiP design in low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC)
technology for single-chip RF transceivers operating in the 5-GHz
band. First, we focus on the design of a microstrip line antenna
on an LTCC substrate. Then, a double-resonance technique and
a meshed ground plane are proposed to enhance the impedance
bandwidth of the microstrip line antenna. Next, the microstrip line
antenna is integrated into the novel AiP with emphasis on feeding
the microstrip line antenna using the packaging elements of the
carried single-chip RF transceiver die. After that, a unique AiP design
which supports the operation of differential signal to suit the
mainstream design of single-chip RF transceivers in a differential
architecture is described. Finally, the performance of the original
AiP design is verified by experimental results. |
