Abstract
An apparatus providing a direct chip to waveguide transition, comprising: one or more waveguides, a chip partially embedding each of the waveguides at a transition area positioned at a narrow side of each waveguide, and a transmitting element disposed at each of the transition areas, thereby providing one or more simultaneous, direct transitions between the chip and the waveguides.
Claims13
An apparatus providing a direct chip to waveguide transition, comprising:
- multiple waveguides;
- a chip partially embedding two or more of said multiple waveguides along each of one or more edges of the chip, each of said multiple waveguides partially embedded by a respective transition area positioned at a narrow side of each waveguide where the narrow side runs perpendicular to the chip, and
- a respective transmitting element disposed at an embedded portion of the corresponding transition area in each of the multiple waveguides, each transmitting element comprising a respective antenna, the antennas collectively providing multiple simultaneous, direct transitions between said chip and said multiple waveguides.
