Abstract
A microwave transmitter/receiver module has a package that includes a high-frequency circuit board and an electromagnetically narrowed space. A semiconductor chip is mounted on the circuit board and is contained in the electromagnetically narrowed space. The electromagnetically narrowed space has a cutoff frequency that is higher than a carrier frequency for microwave communication. A receiver antenna pattern is formed on the top surface of the package and is electromagnetically connected to the semiconductor chip through a first slot. A transmitter antenna pattern is formed on the top surface of the package at a different position from the receiver antenna pattern and is electromagnetically connected to the semiconductor chip through a second slot. Since the antenna patterns are on the top surface of the package, the proper performance thereof is secured and the package is compact.
