A method of assembling an antenna aperture from a plurality of antenna aperture segments is described. The method may include placing a first aperture segment relative to a second aperture segment to partially form the antenna aperture. Furthermore, an overlap of the first aperture segment overlaps a complementary underlap of the second aperture segment at a seam. The method may also include joining the overlap of the first aperture segment to the underlap of the second aperture segment to partially form the antenna aperture.

An RFID reader/writer antenna device is provided that includes a first radiating element, a second radiating element, a third radiating element, baluns, a phase shifter, and a distributor. The radiating elements each comprise conductor patterns with extending directions that are parallel to each other, and used for reading or writing of RFID tags. The distributor connects the first radiating element, the second radiating element, and the third radiating element to a common input/output. The phase shifter causes a feeding phase of the second radiating element and feeding phases of the first radiating element and the third radiating element to have a phase difference of 90°. The baluns perform conversion between a balanced signal and an unbalanced signal.

A first array of antenna elements arranged along the top portion of the IC package operate in conjunction with the transceiver circuitry to transmit at least a first portion of the outbound signals as first wireless transmissions and/or generate at least a first portion of the inbound signals from first wireless receptions. A second array of antenna elements arranged along the bottom portion of the IC package operate in conjunction with the transceiver circuitry to transmit at least a second portion of the outbound signals as second wireless transmissions and/or to generate at least a second portion of the inbound signals from second wireless receptions. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Examples disclosed herein relate to a multi-layer, multi-steering (“MLMS”) antenna array for millimeter wavelength applications. The antenna array is part of an antenna in package.

A quantity of antennas included in the antenna assembly is greater than a quantity of receive antennas supported by customer premises equipment (CPE). Therefore, when a network changes, the CPE may select, from a plurality of antennas included in the antenna assembly, a quantity of antennas with relatively good data transmission performance as receive antennas, where the quantity is the same as the quantity of receive antennas supported by the CPE. That is, the CPE may not need to adjust directions of antennas, but select, from a redundant quantity of set antennas, antennas with relatively good receiving performance to ensure that the CPE is aligned with a direction with relatively good signal quality.

One of a transmitting array antenna and a receiving array antenna includes a first antenna group and a second antenna group. The first antenna group includes one or more first antenna elements of which the phase centers of the antenna elements are laid out at each first layout spacing following a first axis direction, and a shared antenna element. The second antenna group includes a plurality of second antenna elements and the one shared antenna element, and the phase centers of the antenna elements are laid out in two columns at each second layout spacing following a second axis direction that is different from the first axis direction. The phase centers of the antenna elements included in each of the two columns differ from each other regarding position in the second axis direction.
