Abstract
An apparatus includes an antenna array package cover comprising a radiating surface, a mating surface disposed opposite the radiating surface, and an array of antenna array sub-patterns wherein each antenna array sub-pattern comprises at least one antenna element. The antenna array package also includes an array of sub-pattern interface packages mated to the mating surface of the antenna array package cover. Each sub-pattern interface package of the array of sub-pattern interface packages comprises a package carrier, a sub-pattern integrated circuit electrically and mechanically coupled to the package carrier, and a set of interface lines corresponding to the antenna elements of the antenna array sub-pattern that corresponds to the sub-pattern interface package. Methods for mounting the above apparatus into a host circuit are also disclosed herein.
