Abstract:
Multi-sided antenna modules employing antennas on multiple sides of a package substrate for enhanced antenna coverage, and related antenna module fabrication methods. The multi-sided antenna module includes an integrated circuit (IC) die(s) disposed on a first side of the package substrate. The multi-sided antenna module further includes first and second substrate antenna layers disposed on respective first and second sides of the package substrate. The first substrate antenna layer includes a first antenna(s) disposed on the first side of the package substrate adjacent to the IC die(s). The second substrate antenna layer includes a second antenna(s) disposed on the second side of the package substrate opposite of the first side of the package substrate. In this manner, the multi-sided antenna module, including antennas on multiple sides of the package substrate, provides antenna coverage that extends from both sides of the package substrate to provide multiple directions of coverage.
