Claim 11:
12. An apparatus, comprising:
a metal lead frame having a die pad and having leads spaced from the die pad;
a semiconductor die configured to transmit, receive, or transceive signals having a frequency greater than 10 GHz, the semiconductor die having bond pads on a device side surface and having an opposite backside surface that is mounted to the die pad;
bond wires coupling the bond pads on the device side surface of the semiconductor die to the leads of the metal lead frame;
an antenna positioned over the device side surface and having a feed line coupled between conductors of the antenna and the device side surface of the semiconductor die; and
mold compound covering portions of the die pad, the leads, the semiconductor die, the bond wires, and the antenna, the conductors of the antenna having surfaces exposed from the mold compound, wherein the surfaces are coplanar to a plane along a side surface of the apparatus.
