Abstract
A novel method is presented for achieving a complete RF front end product e quipped with its radiator within a single chip package. This packaging tech nique provides an alternative solution to problems associated with reduced size antennas implemented on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates, such as re storation of the antenna gain by 15dB. This configuration will help to redu ce manufacturing costs associated with connecting the antenna to the RF fro nt-end chip.
