Dielectric lens structures for EHF radiation
First Claim
1. An EHF communication system comprising:
- a first device comprising a first integrated circuit package having a first transducer configured to transmit an electromagnetic signal in an EHF frequency range;
a first dielectric lens disposed adjacent the first transducer such that at least a portion of the electromagnetic signal is refracted by the first dielectric lens; and
a second device including a second integrated circuit package having a second transducer configured to receive the electromagnetic signal refracted by the first dielectric lens, wherein the first dielectric lens has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface facing the first integrated circuit package having the first transducer and the second surface facing the second integrated circuit package having the second transducer, and wherein the first dielectric lens is a biconvex lens comprising a combination of a first spherical cap in a first housing of the first device and a second spherical cap is in a second housing of the second device.

Abstract
Communication devices for communicating using EHF electromagnetic radiation that include a dielectric lens configured to refract incident EHF electromagnetic radiation. The communication device may include an integrated circuit (IC) package that in turn includes a transducer configured to transmit and/or receive an EHF electromagnetic signal and convert between electrical signals and electromagnetic signals. The integrated circuit package also includes an integrated circuit including at least one of a transmitter circuit and a received circuit that is operatively coupled to the transducer. The dielectric lens is generally disposed so as to enhance transmission or reception of the EHF electromagnetic signal by the transducer.
