Abstract
A package includes an integrated circuit, IC, die having circuitry configured to generate signalling for transmission to a waveguide and/or receive signalling from a waveguide via a launcher. The die is coupled to an interconnect layer extending out from a footprint of the die. The launcher is formed in a launcher-substrate, separate from the die. The launcher is coupled to the die to pass the signalling therebetween by a connection in the interconnect layer. The launcher includes a launcher element mounted in a first plane within the launcher-substrate and a waveguide-cavity including a ground plane arranged opposed to and spaced from the first plane. The waveguide-cavity is further defined by at least one side wall extending from the ground plane towards the first plane. The die and launcher are at least partially surrounded by mould material of the package.
