Abstract
An electronic device has a multilayer substrate that has an interface surface configured for interfacing to a dielectric waveguide. A conductive layer on the substrate is etched to form a dipole antenna disposed adjacent the interface surface to provide coupling to the dielectric waveguide. A reflector structure is formed in the substrate adjacent the dipole antenna opposite from the interface surface.
