Patent ID: 7054599

Claim:
A radio having a first set of radio components for processing analog signals in a radio transmission and a second set of radio components for processing digital signals in a radio transmission, the radio comprising: a substrate base support; at least one pocket formed within the substrate; at least one processor, each of the at least one processor being within a corresponding one of the at least one pocket for modulating a radio signal into one of a plurality of waveforms based on a software instruction set, each of the at least one processor being in electronic communication with both of the first and second sets of the radio components; a dielectric layer covering a top surface of the substrate and each of the at least one processor; a plurality of vias formed in the dielectric layer to expose selected portions of each of the at least one processor; and a metallization layer formed over the dielectric layer and over the plurality of vias so that each of the at least one processor is in electrical communication with the first and second sets of radio components.
