Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, an integrated circuit that includes at least one die having transceiver circuitry that generates outbound signals that convey outbound data and that receives inbound signals that convey inbound data. A first array of antenna elements arranged along the top portion of the IC package operate in conjunction with the transceiver circuitry to transmit at least a first portion of the outbound signals as first wireless transmissions and/or generate at least a first portion of the inbound signals from first wireless receptions. A second array of antenna elements arranged along the bottom portion of the IC package operate in conjunction with the transceiver circuitry to transmit at least a second portion of the outbound signals as second wireless transmissions and/or to generate at least a second portion of the inbound signals from second wireless receptions. Other embodiments are disclosed.
