Abstract
Millimeter wave antenna-in-packages require miniaturized antennas with good performance for cellular and IOT applications. Coupling between antenna elements is a chief concern in small package sizes. This work proposes two antennain-package (AIP) approaches at 60 GHz for millimeter wave applications. First solution leverages via fences in a corporate-fed 2x2 slot array to miniaturize and decouple individual elements that occupies same area as the single unoptimized element. The second approach uses a vertical substrate integrated waveguide sandwiched between the source element and a metamaterial surface. Both approaches produce 78% aperture efficiency at 60 GHz and a gain of 12.5 dB, which is 6 dB more than the single element. The responses are validated in a X and Ku band anechoic chamber by scaling the structures to operate at 12 GHz.
