A point-to-point radio communications device, with an integrated antenna-IC module, includes highly-directional antenna elements and silicon CMOS-based ICs in plastic packaging material. The high-gain horn-type antenna includes two sections made of molded plastic and covered in a metallic coating. When combined, the two sections form an aperture and an opening on a face. The face of the antenna element can be mounted directly to an integrated circuit with an antenna coupling element, such that the aperture forms a horn-IC module. The module can be completely enclosed in a plastic-packaging environment using low-cost approach. The antenna-IC module can be manufactured as an integral part of a case for a point-to-point wireless electronic device such as a mobile video phone or a set-top box with tens of gigabits of video downloading capability.
