A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003014B2) discloses an antenna module designed with a unique configuration to operate in multiple frequency bands. The module includes a substrate with two dielectric layers of different dielectric constants, accommodating a first antenna for a higher frequency band and a second antenna for a lower frequency band. A ground layer separates the antennas, with part of the first antenna overlapping the second antenna in a plan view. The module also features a radio frequency circuit connected to the first antenna, with additional components like a filter circuit and connector for the second antenna.

Furthermore, the patent details the integration of the antenna module into communication devices, such as those with millimeter wave and microwave circuits on a motherboard. The design allows for efficient signal transmission and reception across different frequency bands, enhancing the overall performance of the communication device. With features like encapsulation of the radio frequency circuit in resin and the inclusion of a shield layer, the antenna module offers improved functionality and reliability in various applications.
