Claim 0:
1. An antenna element module comprising:
an antenna element including a feed and a radiating element;
a dielectric substrate having a first surface and a second surface, the dielectric substrate comprising the feed of the antenna element within the dielectric substrate;
an integrated circuit (IC) chip adhered to the first surface the dielectric substrate and coupled to the feed of the antenna element, the IC chip including a circuit to adjust a signal communicated with the feed; and
a plastic antenna carrier adhered to the second surface of the dielectric substrate, the plastic antenna carrier comprising:
a body portion comprising:
a first surface;
a second surface opposing the first surface; and
a cavity for the radiating element of the antenna element, the radiating element positioned in the cavity of the body portion of the plastic antenna carrier, wherein the cavity is situated between the first surface and the second surface of the body portion.
