    Abstract: The present invention relates to a millimeter wave RF antenna array apparatus. The apparatus comprises a single-chip MMIC comprising active circuit elements of the antenna array apparatus. The active circuit elements comprise at least antenna feed circuitry configured to feed antenna elements of the antenna array. The apparatus comprises an interposer fabricated of low-loss RF material, such as glass, low-temperature co-fired ceramic, LTCC, or printed circuit board, PCB. The interposer comprises transmission lines of a RF distribution network and a plurality of antenna elements of the antenna array. The transmission lines of the interposer are coupled to the MMIC for providing RF connections for distributing RF signals to and from the antenna feed circuitry. Area of the interposer that comprises the transmission lines of the RF distribution network and the plurality of antenna elements is collocated with the area of the MMIC that comprises said antenna feed circuitry.

    Abstract: Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for a scalable planar phased array antenna subarray tile assembly. A scalable phased array antenna subarray tile assembly is implemented as a printed wiring board (PWB) with antenna elements coupled to the PWB. In one example, a PWB includes integrated circuit die attached directly to a first surface of the PWB and couple to antenna elements coupled on a second surface of the PWB. First conductive vias extend through a first subset of PWB layers and couple to the integrated circuit die. Second conductive vias, larger than the first, extend through a second subset of PWB layers and couple to the antenna elements. A conductive trace couples the first and second conductive vias on a PWB layer. The second conductive vias are offset from the first to provide a thermal mechanical stress relief to the integrated circuit die.

    Abstract: A collective lamination substrate N is provided with pattern layers having N number of layers, where N is an integer and 4 or more, a pseudo waveguide formed penetrating through the pattern layers in a lamination direction, a converter section formed in the pattern layers, mutually converting between an electrical signal and radio waves being transmitted and received via the pseudo waveguide, and ground patterns formed in the pattern layers, covering a periphery of a waveguide formation section. The collective lamination substrate further includes: antennas formed in the waveguide formation section; a first via group provided in a periphery of the waveguide formation section; and a second via group provided in a periphery of the waveguide formation section and positioned at a more outer portion than the first via group.
