Abstract :
We describe a new class of microwave/millimeter device utilizing Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) material which has showed a combination of good electrical and mechanical properties. This paper presents the design and simulation of a fully System-On-Package (SOP) antenna module that will be suitable for 5GHz WLAN application with high performance. The proposed antenna is printed on a flexible LCP layer, protruding from a rigid multilayer organic substrate. The shielding effect of the metal case which protects the module circuitry from the near fields of the antenna was also taken care of during the design.
