An antenna apparatus includes a waveguide adapter plate for mounting an antenna flange and an RF system-in-package or other IC package. The waveguide adapter plate comprises a first surface and an opposing second surface and a waveguide flange interface. The waveguide flange interface comprises a waveguide channel section extending between the first surface and the second surface and a set of flange mounting holes extending from the first surface to the second surface. The waveguide adapter plate further includes a plurality of substrate alignment pins extending substantially perpendicular from the second surface.

Waveguide adapter plate to facilitate accurate alignment of sectioned waveguide channel in microwave antenna assembly

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) apparatus comprises a substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface. The substrate comprises a metal layer proximate to the first surface. The metal layer comprises a conductive trace comprising a signal line coupled to a launcher element at a first end of the signal line, and a ground plane co-planar with the conductive trace. The ground plane defines a substantially rectangular first region surrounding the launcher element and defining a second region surrounding the signal line, the first and second regions substantially devoid of conductive material. The launcher element has a substantially rectangular shape with a width greater than a width of the signal line at the first end.

Coplanar waveguide implementing launcher and waveguide channel section in IC package substrate

An IC package includes an IC die disposed at a first surface of a substrate, which includes a signal via extending between first and second metal layers. The first metal layer is proximate to the first surface and includes a first coplanar waveguide. The first coplanar waveguide has a first signal line coupling a die bump to the signal via and has a first ground plane co-planar with the first signal line. The second metal layer is proximate to a second surface and includes a second coplanar waveguide that has a second signal line coupling the signal via to a launcher element and has a second ground plane co-planar with the second signal line. The IC package further includes a waveguide channel aperture comprising a region surrounding the launcher element and which is substantially devoid of conductive material and a via fence disposed at a perimeter of the first region.
