During the connection process, the chip is flipped onto the external circuitry such that the top side of the chip faces down and the solder pads on the chip align with the solder pads on the external circuitry. Solder may then be flowed to complete the connection.
  • Signal routing layer 414 includes electrical traces or transmission lines (not shown) coupling RFIC 104 to each of the antenna elements 314 , 304 , 306 disposed on the flexible substrate 412 . Since phased array beam scanning is based, in part, on the difference in reception times (or transmission times) of the RF signal at each of the phased array antenna elements 314 , 306 , it may be advantageous to reduce other sources of timing differences between signals at each of the those antenna elements 314 , 306 .
  • the electrical traces may be routed through the signal routing layer 414 in a variety of meandering patterns to achieve an equalized trace length, and thus an equalized signal delay time, between the RFIC 104 and each of the phased array antenna elements 314 , 306 .
  • the term “equalized” as used herein, means that the difference in lengths between each of the traces is reduced to a sufficiently small value such that a desired level of beam scanning performance may be achieved. This is illustrated in FIG. 5 , which shows RFIC 104 coupled to phased array antenna elements 314 a and 314 b through electrical traces 502 and 504 respectively.
  • electrical trace 504 is routed with a bend in the trace 508 that results in electrical trace 504 being longer than electrical trace 502 . This may be corrected by re-routing electrical trace 502 along the path indicated as electrical trace 506 , which has a meandering section 510 , to equalize the lengths of the two traces 506 and 504 .
  • the electrical traces may be routed through the signal routing layer 414 in a manner that results in known timing differences between the RFIC 104 and each of the phased array antenna elements 314 , 306 , such that corrections for those known timing differences may be applied in subsequent processing stages to compensate for those differences.

  • An RF carrier is generated by RF carrier generator 608 and mixed with IF signal 604 by mixer 606 to up-convert the IF signal 604 to an RF signal.
  • Mixer 606 may be a passive bi-directional mixer.
  • the RF signal may be amplified by bi-directional amplifier 610 and then coupled to one or more single element antennas 304 (only one shown) and/or one or more phased array antenna systems 622 (only one shown).
  • the single element antenna 304 transmits the RF signal in a fixed beam pattern.
