Patent ID: 7894777

Claim:
An integrated circuit (IC) comprises: a plurality of antenna elements operable in a frequency range of approximately 55 GHz to 64 GHz; a coupling circuit operable to couple the plurality of antenna elements into an antenna structure in accordance with an antenna configuration signal, the coupling circuit comprising: a plurality of transmission lines; a switching module operable to couple the plurality of transmission lines to the plurality of antenna elements; a plurality of transformer modules coupled to the plurality of transmission lines; and a plurality of impedance matching circuits coupled to the plurality of transformer modules; a control module coupled to generate the antenna configuration signal based on a mode of operation of the IC; and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver coupled to convert an outbound symbol stream into an outbound RF signal and to convert an inbound RF signal into an inbound symbol stream in accordance with the mode of operation of the IC, wherein the inbound RF signal is received via the antenna structure and the outbound RF signal is transmitted via the antenna structure.
