Patent ID: 11955688

Abstract:
Aspects described herein include devices, wireless communication apparatuses, methods, and associated operations for heatsinks integrating millimeter wave and non-millimeter wave operation. In some aspects, an apparatus comprising a millimeter wave (mmW) module is provided. The apparatus includes at least one mmW antenna and at least one mmW signal node configured to communicate a data signal in association with the at least one mmW antenna. The apparatus further includes mixing circuitry configured to convert between the data signal and a mmW signal for communications associated with the at least one mmW antenna. The apparatus further includes a heatsink comprising a non-mmW antenna and a non-mmW feed point coupled to the non-mmW antenna. The non-mmW feed point is configured to provide a signal path to the non-mmW antenna for a non-mmW signal. The heatsink is mechanically coupled to the mmW module.
