Compact LTCC antenna package for 60 GHz wireless transmission of uncompressed video

Summary form only given, as follows. This paper proposes a compact antenna package in low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for 60 GHz wireless transmission of uncompressed video. An active phased-array antenna is realized in a 9.5 × 9.5 × 0.8 mm³ package by integrating 4 open-waveguide antenna elements at the top of the package with a 60 GHz CMOS chip at the bottom of the package. The LTCC build-up was designed to provide low interconnection loss, good antenna performance and excellent shielding of the CMOS chip.
