Abstract
An antenna-integrated radio frequency (RF) module includes a multilayer substrate disposed between an integrated chip (IC) and patch antennas, signal vias, and ground members. The IC is configured to generate RF signals. The signal vias are configured to connect and transmit/receive the RF signals from each of the patch antennas to the IC. The ground members are disposed on an outer surface layer and intermediate surface layers of the multilayer substrate to surround each of the patch antennas and the signal vias.
