Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a device may receive layout information that identifies a configuration of an antenna array of antennas, wherein the antenna array is to include a plurality of antenna subarrays and a plurality of antenna chips, wherein each antenna chip is communicatively coupled to antennas of an associated antenna subarray; determine, based at least in part on a phase shift characteristic associated with the antennas, a set of phase differences between antenna subarrays; determine, based at least in part on the set of phase differences, a chip position of each antenna chip relative to the associated antenna subarray; and generate, based at least in part on the chip position of each antenna chip, a layout of an antenna package to receive the antenna array and the plurality of antenna chips. Numerous other aspects are provided.
