Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a transmitter to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal to a receiver via a dielectric waveguide where the transmitter includes a plurality of mixers to generate modulated RF signals and a combiner to combine the modulated RF signals. Embodiments may also include a receiver to receive, from a dielectric waveguide, a RF signal where the receiver includes a splitter to split the RF signal into a plurality of signal paths, a plurality of filters, and a plurality of demodulators. Embodiments may also include a dielectric waveguide communication apparatus that may include the transmitter and the receiver. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a plurality of waveguides, wherein the waveguides include a dielectric material; an outer shell; and a supporting feature within the outer shell, wherein the waveguides are arranged separate from each other within the outer shell by the supporting feature.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to devices, systems, and methods for making a flexible microelectronic assembly. In an example, a polymer is molded over a microelectronic component, the polymer mold assuming a substantially rigid state following the molding. A routing layer is formed with respect to the microelectronic component and the polymer mold, the routing layer including traces electrically coupled to the microelectronic component. An input is applied to the polymer mold, the polymer mold transitioning from the substantially rigid state to a substantially flexible state upon application of the input.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an embedded mm-wave radio integrated circuit into a substrate of a phased array module are disclosed. In some embodiments, the phased array module includes a first set of substrate layers made of a first material. The mm-wave radio integrated circuit may be embedded in the first set of substrate layers. A second set of substrate layers may be coupled to the first set of substrate layers. The second set of substrate layers may be made of a second material that has a lower electrical loss than the first material. The second set of substrate layers may include a plurality of antenna elements coupled through vias to the mm-wave radio integrated circuit.
Abstract:
A high performance antenna incorporated on a microelectronic substrate by forming low-loss dielectric material structures in the microelectronic substrates and forming the antenna on the low-loss dielectric material structures. The low-loss dielectric material structures may be fabricated by forming a cavity in a build-up layer of the microelectronic substrate and filling the cavity with a low-loss dielectric material.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a single-package communications device that includes an antenna module with a plurality of independently selectable arrays of antenna elements. The antenna elements of the different arrays may send and/or receive data signals over different ranges of signal angles. The communications device may further include a switch module to separately activate the individual arrays. In some embodiments, a radio frequency (RF) communications module may be included in the package of the communications device. In some embodiments, the RF communications module may be configured to communicate over a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) network using the plurality of arrays of antenna elements.
