Method and system for a 60 GHz leaky wave high gain antenna

摘要

Methods and systems for a 60 GHz leaky wave high gain antenna are disclosed and may include communicating RF signals using one or more or more leaky wave antennas (LWAs) in a wireless device. The LWAs may be integrated in metal traces on a chip, a package, and/or a printed circuit board (PCB). The metal traces may supply voltage signals to one or more circuits on the chip, package, and/or PCB. The voltage signals may include DC bias voltages, and/or signals at a frequency that is lower than a resonant frequency of the LWAs. The LWAs may include microstrip or coplanar lines where a cavity height of the LWAs is dependent on a spacing between the lines. An angle of the wireless signals with a surface of the chip, package, and/or PCB may be dynamically configured. The LWAs may be configured via switches in the chip, package, and/or PCB.
