  • Publication number: 20190200451
    Abstract: A millimeter wave (mm-wave) communication interface includes a first semiconductor package coupled to a first substrate and a second semiconductor package coupled to a second substrate. The second substrate may be coupled at approximately a 90° angle to the first substrate. The second semiconductor package may include a mm-wave die that modulates digital data on a high frequency microwave signal and a mm-wave launcher that launches the modulated high-frequency microwave signal into a waveguide member operably coupled to the second substrate. In such an implementation, the waveguide member may beneficially exit the second substrate along a longitudinal axis parallel to the principal plane of the first substrate. Advantageously, all high-frequency components are close coupled to the second substrate without the use of an intervening interface.
