The granted patent US12046798B2 describes an electronic device featuring a substrate with a top and bottom side, which incorporates a first dielectric structure and a first conductive structure. The first conductive structure includes a transceiver pattern located near the substrate's top side. An antenna structure is integrated into the device, consisting of a second dielectric structure attached to the substrate's top side and a second conductive structure that includes a first antenna element. This first antenna element is characterized by a uniform width in cross-section and is positioned over the transceiver pattern, with a cavity located beneath it. The design ensures that the first antenna element is securely fixed to the second dielectric structure, which also houses an electronic component connected to the substrate's bottom side.

Further claims detail additional features of the electronic device, such as the inclusion of a conductor linking the first antenna element to the substrate, and various configurations of the second dielectric structure, which may be molded or segmented. The patent also describes a second antenna element, which is separated from the first by a cavity, and the potential for vents within the dielectric structures. The device's design emphasizes the integration of multiple components while maintaining structural integrity, with encapsulants covering certain areas to protect the electronic components. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated arrangement of dielectric and conductive structures aimed at enhancing the functionality of electronic devices.
