Abstract:
An integrated circuit antenna structure for transmitting, receiving, or transceiving electromagnetic radiation, the antenna structure comprising:a first substrate having a first surface; at least one first electrical lead formed on the first surface of the first substrate; a second substrate having a first surface and a first edge; an antenna for transmitting, receiving, or transceiving electromagnetic radiation, wherein the antenna is formed on the first surface of the second substrate; and at least one second electrical lead formed on the second substrate, a first end of the at least one second electrical lead being electrically connected to the antenna, a second end of each second electrical lead being positioned adjacent the first edge of the second substrate, wherein the first edge of the second substrate is mounted to the first surface of the first substrate such that each first electrical lead is electrically connected to the second end of a corresponding second electrical lead, and wherein at least one of said first and second substrates is a semi-conductor.
