    Abstract: A packaged electronic device includes a multilayer lead frame having first and second trace levels, a via level therebetween, a conductive feed structure, and a conductive reflector wall. The first trace level includes a conductive coupler antenna and a conductive ground structure that extends in a plane of orthogonal first and second directions, and a portion of the conductive coupler antenna faces outward along a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions. The conductive reflector wall has an opening and extends along the third direction between the first and second trace levels around a portion of the conductive coupler antenna. The conductive feed structure is coupled to the conductive coupler antenna and extends along the first direction through the opening of the conductive reflector wall.

    Abstract: A device comprises an integrated circuit (IC) die, a substrate, a printed circuit board (PCB), an antenna, and a waveguide stub. The IC die is affixed to the substrate, which comprises a signal launch on a surface of the substrate that is configured to emit or receive a signal. The substrate and the antenna are affixed to the PCB, such that the signal launch and a waveguide opening of the antenna are aligned and comprise a signal channel. The waveguide stub is arranged as a boundary around the signal channel. In some implementations, the waveguide stub has a height of λ/4, where λ represents a wavelength of the signal. In some implementations, the antenna includes the waveguide stub; in others, the substrate includes the waveguide stub.
