Advanced Packaging and its Characterization for 5G mmWave Antenna in Package

摘要

As the mmWave bands of the 5G become popular and available to the mass market, designing antenna in mmWave transceiver package becomes a popular choice. It is critical that a few key antenna design parameters must be kept in such advanced packaging, including low antenna loss, wide bandwidth matching, and directivity. To achieve these goals, the structure, the material used, and manufacturing process for the advanced packaging, in which antenna is designed in, must be carefully characterized and optimized. In addition, the scalability and the cost of the advanced packaging used for 5G mmWave have to meet the market demands.
