Abstract

An apparatus comprising at least a plurality of antenna modules mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) is disclosed. The PCB includes a plurality of holes embedded with a heat sink. Each antenna module comprises an antenna substrate. Each antenna module further comprises a plurality of three-dimensional (3-D) antenna cells that are mounted on a first surface of the antenna substrate. Each antenna module further comprises a plurality of packaged circuitry that are mounted on a second surface of the antenna substrate. The plurality of packaged circuitry are electrically connected with the plurality of 3-D antenna cells. Furthermore, each antenna module is mounted on the plurality of holes via a corresponding packaged circuitry of the plurality of packaged circuitry.
