Patent ID: 7463199

Claim:
An integrated circuit package comprising: at least one substrate, each substrate including at least one layer; at least one semiconductor die located on at least one substrate; at least one terminal; an antenna located in said integrated circuit package but not on said at least one semiconductor die, said antenna comprising a conducting pattern, at least a portion of which includes a curve, wherein said curve comprises at least five segments, each of said at least five segments forming a pair of angles with each adjacent segment in said curve, at least three of said segments being shorter than one-tenth of the longest free-space operating wavelength of said antenna; wherein the smaller angle of the pair of angles between adjacent segments is less than 180° and at least two of said angles between adjacent segments are less than 115°, wherein at least two of said angles are not equal; and wherein said conducting pattern fits inside a rectangular area, the longest side of said rectangular area being shorter than one-fifth of the longest free-space operating wavelength of said antenna.
