Millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, apparatuses, and methods that relate to transceivers, receivers, and antenna structures for wireless communications are described. The various aspects include co-located millimeter wave (mmWave) and near-field communication (NFC) antennas, scalable phased array radio transceiver architecture (SPARTA), phased array distributed communication system with MIMO support and phase noise synchronization over a single coax cable, communicating RF signals over cable (RFoC) in a distributed phased array communication system, clock noise leakage reduction, IF-to-RF companion chip for backwards and forwards compatibility and modularity, on-package matching networks, 5G scalable receiver (Rx) architecture, among others.

Wireless communication technology, apparatuses, and methods

Aspects of the embodiments are directed to an on-chip loop antenna and methods of manufacturing the same. In some embodiments, the on-chip loop antenna is in an integrated circuit (IC) die. The IC die comprises metal loops substantially centered around a core region of the IC die in a metallization stack of the IC die, a dielectric between spaces of the metal loops, an electric circuit in the core region electrically connected to the metal loops with an interconnect, and a ground plane in the metallization stack electrically connected to the loops with a first plurality of vias and to the electric circuit with a second plurality of vias. The first plurality of vias is different from the second plurality of vias, and the electric circuit includes an inductor. In some embodiments, the on-chip loop antenna can be carried by a semiconductor package.

Differential on-chip loop antenna

Apparatuses and systems for millimeter-wave antennas are described. An apparatus comprises a board assembly, and a first and second antenna disposed within the board assembly. A third antenna can comprise a semiconductor antenna attached to the board assembly. A parasitic layer can be gap-coupled to the first and second antenna. The first and second antenna can include a rectangular patch antenna and an annular ring antenna. Other aspects are described.

Hybrid and thinned millimeter-wave antenna solutions

Aspects of the embodiments are directed to an on-chip loop antenna and methods of manufacturing the same. The on-chip loop antenna can be carried by a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package can include a printed circuit board coupled to an integrated circuit chip. The integrated circuit chip can include a semiconductor substrate, an integrated circuit; and a loop antenna surrounding the integrated circuit. In embodiments, the semiconductor package can include a metal shield enclosing the integrated circuit chip. In embodiments, the on-chip loop antenna can be impedance matched to the impedance of the integrated circuit. In embodiments, the integrated circuit can include an antenna driver to drive the antenna differentially, the on-chip loop antenna surrounding the antenna driver.
