Abstract: An antenna device includes an antenna on a substrate, a low-impedance electrostatic discharge (ESD) path for an ESD pulse from the antenna to a ground terminal, and a signal path between the antenna and either a signal terminal or an integrated circuit (IC) die. The ESD and signal paths may each include separate vias through the substrate. A capacitor may couple a signal to or from the antenna and the signal terminal (or IC die) but block low-frequency power (such as an ESD pulse). The ESD path has an electrical length of a quarter of the wavelength and so may present a high impedance to ground for the signal. The antenna device may include or be coupled to an IC die. The IC die may couple to the signal and ground terminals, e.g., opposite the substrate from the antenna.
