Embodiment Construction

[0021]Certain aspects of the invention may be found in a method and system for communicating via leaky wave antennas on high resistivity substrates. Exemplary aspects of the invention may comprise communicating RF signals using one or more leaky wave antennas that may be integrated within an integrated circuit comprising a high resistivity substrate. The high resistivity substrate may comprise a silicon-on-sapphire substrate. The leaky wave antennas integrated within the integrated circuit may be configured to transmit the RF signals at a desired angle from the surface of the integrated circuit. The RF signals may be communicated between regions within the integrated circuit. The leaky wave antennas comprise microstrip waveguides where the cavity height of the one or more of the leaky wave antennas may be configured by controlling spacing between conductive lines in the microstrip waveguides. The leaky wave antennas may comprise coplanar waveguides where a cavity height of the one o...

Abstract

Methods and systems for communicating via leaky wave antennas (LWAs) on high resistivity substrates are disclosed and may include communicating RF signals using one or more LWAs that may be integrated in an integrated circuit (chip) comprising a high resistivity substrate, which may include a silicon-on-sapphire substrate. The LWAs integrated in the chip may be configured to transmit the RF signals at a desired angle from the surface of the chip. The RF signals may be communicated between regions within the chip. The LWAs may include microstrip or coplanar waveguides where the cavity height of the one or more of the LWAs may be configured by controlling spacing between conductive lines in the waveguides. The RF signals may be communicated from the LWAs integrated in the chip to LWAs in a package to which the chip is bonded or in a printed circuit board to which the package is bonded.
