Abstract
Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices and methods for integration of millimeter wave antennas in platforms with reduced form factors while maintaining or improving antenna gain. An antenna assembly may include a first planar substrate; a ground plane disposed on the first planar substrate; a second planar substrate disposed on the ground plane; and an antenna radiation element disposed on the second planar substrate. The antenna radiation element may be configured to transmit a signal in the millimeter wave frequency region. The assembly may also include a via to provide a conductive path for the signal from a microstrip feed line, beneath the first planar substrate, to the antenna radiation element. The assembly may further include a dielectric layer disposed on the antenna radiation element to provide increased antenna gain under conditions of reduced air gap between the antenna radiation element and a structural element of an enclosing platform.
