Patent ID: 8330259

Claim:
An integrated circuit package for an electronic device comprising: a substrate having a mounting area for an integrated circuit die; a set of electrical conductors provided on the substrate for connection between the die and external package connectors; a set of electrically inert fixation pads to provide mechanical connections between the package and a printed circuit board on which the package is mounted; an antenna comprising a feeding point, a proximal end, and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is closer than the distal end to the feeding point; wherein the electrical conductors are provided on the substrate outside a projection area of the antenna; a ground plane that is spaced away from the antenna so that no part of the ground plane falls in the projection of the antenna; wherein the antenna is arranged on the substrate so that the distal end is farther than the proximal end to an edge of the ground plane; and wherein at least one or more fixation pads are positioned in the projection area of the antenna.
