Patent ID: 11955728
Assignee: INTEL CORPORATION
Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A computing device, comprising:
a memory;
a communications chip; and
an IC die that includes an antenna driver circuit having an inductor, wherein:
a loop antenna surrounds the antenna driver circuit,
an interconnect electrically couples the antenna driver circuit to the loop antenna,
a first plurality of vias through a metallization stack in the IC die electrically couples a ground plane with the antenna driver circuit,
a second plurality of vias through the metallization stack in the IC electrically couples the ground plane with the loop antenna,
the loop antenna includes metal loops configured to cause electric currents in the metal loops to cancel each other when excited in a first direction, and to aggregate when excited in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
