ANTENNA MODULES WITH PARTIALLY OVERLAPPING STACKED CIRCUITS

Original Abstract Submitted
Example antenna module includes antenna units provided over an antenna unit support, and ICs communicatively coupled to various antenna units. The ICs are arranged in two or more subsets of one or more ICs in each subset, where an individual IC belongs to only one subset, different subsets are in different layers with respect to the antenna unit support, and an average pitch of projections of all of the ICs onto a plane parallel to the antenna unit support is substantially equal to, or smaller, than an average pitch of the antenna units. When an average width of the ICs is larger than the average pitch of the antenna units, arranging the ICs in two or more subsets in different layers means that at least one of the ICs of one subset partially overlaps with at least one of the ICs of another subset.
