1. A system for an organic antenna structure, comprising:
- a first organic layer having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including a first conductive layer that is patterned to form at least one passive device and the second portion including a second conductive layer that is patterned to form one or more interconnect traces, wherein the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are electrically connected;
a second organic layer positioned over the first portion of the first organic layer, wherein the second organic layer and the first portion of the first organic layer sandwich the first conductive layer, and further wherein the second organic layer is not positioned over a substantial part of the second portion of the first organic layer; and
an antenna structure, wherein the antenna structure is electrically connected to one or more interconnect traces of the second conductive layer.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention may provide for a variety of antennae structures, including the following: a) antennae structures printed directly on the sides of the radio frequency (RF) module or integrated passive device (IPD), b) printed antennae structures fabricated on preformed dielectric lids or overmolds, c) antennae structures fabricated as part of the dielectric wiring that constitutes the wireless module, d) antennae structures that are printed directly on the top of the finished RF module, and e) antennae structures printed directly on the dielectric layers adjacent to thin film wiring and embedded passive elements such as filters, diplexers and couplers.
