A method and system implementing wireless communication using one or more
antenna elements in an integrated circuit. In one embodiment of the
invention, one or more antenna elements are placed in the integrated
circuit substrate. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, one or
more antenna elements can be placed inside the integrated circuit
packaging at a position above the substrate. In another embodiment of the
invention, one or more antenna elements can be placed on the outer
surface of the integrated circuit package. In further alternate
embodiments of the invention, multiple antenna elements are placed inside
or on the surface of the integrated circuit with the individual antenna
elements being placed in an orientation to optimize signal strength. In
one embodiment, multiple antenna elements are placed inside or on the
surface of the integrated circuit in an orientation to maximize the
signal strength for an RF signal at a single frequency. In various
embodiments of the invention, a diversity switch is operable to
selectively connected antenna elements to enable wireless communication
at a plurality of frequencies.
