  • Patent number: 12142555
    Abstract: Antenna module substrate employing vertical conductor loops for coupling noise reduction in radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines, and related antenna modules and fabrication methods. To provide effective electrical isolation between closely routed RF transmission lines in a metallization layer of the substrate, vertical conductor loops are formed in a metallization layer(s) adjacent to the RF transmission lines. The magnetic flux loop generated by the RF transmission lines as a result of carrying RF signals penetrates through the opening of the adjacent vertical loop structures, thereby inducing a magnetic field in the vertical conductor loops in the opposite direction of the magnetic flux. The induced magnetic field in the vertical conductor loops induces eddy currents in the vertical conductor loops, which in turn interferes with the magnetic flux thus causing a magnetic damping force in the magnetic flux, thus reducing or cancelling RF transmission line coupling noise.

  • Patent number: 12095144
    Abstract: The wireless RF semiconductor system is described for use in wireless communication devices that operate in frequency range from 6 GHz to 100 GHz. The system comprises of at least one RF antenna and at least one active RF component fabricated (or built) on the same semiconductor substrate inside a one single packaged module. The wireless RF semiconductor system is described in a variety of different configurations with its functionality divided up over several single chip circuits. The system simplifies assembly, reduces size and cost, and allows for a quick time to market, while maximizing the RF performance demanded by fixed and mobile 4G, 5G and other wireless standards. The system uses a novel idea of design and packaging of active and passive RF components into a single package. This in turn allows RF designers to unlock the potential of very high frequencies operation that were previously thought too expensive and/or unattainable to average user.
