ABSTRACT:
A method and system implementing wireless communication using one or more antenna elements in an integrated circuit. In one embodiment of the invention, one or more antenna elements are placed in the integrated circuit substrate. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, one or more antenna elements can be placed inside the integrated circuit packaging at a position above the substrate. In another embodiment of the invention, one or more antenna elements can be placed on the outer surface of the integrated circuit package. In further alternate embodiments of the invention, multiple antenna elements are placed inside or on the surface of the integrated circuit with the individual antenna elements being placed in an orientation to optimize signal strength. In one embodiment, multiple antenna elements are placed inside or on the surface of the integrated circuit in an orientation to maximize the signal strength for an RF signal at a single frequency. In various embodiments of the invention, a diversity switch is operable to selectively connected antenna elements to enable wireless communication at a plurality of frequencies.
