PACKAGED ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING INTEGRATED ANTENNA AND LOCKING STRUCTURE

摘要

A packaged electronic device includes an integrated antenna as part of a conductive leadframe. The conductive leadframe includes a die paddle have an elongated conductive beam structure configured as a transmission line, and a ground plane structure disposed surrounding the die paddle. The ground plane includes a gap where the transmission line extends to an edge of the packaged electronic device. In one embodiment, selected leads within the leadframe are configured with conductive connective structures as ground pins, source pins, and/or wave guides. In an alternate embodiment, a portion of the integrated antenna is embedded and partially exposed within the body of the packaged electronic device.
