Abstract
The present disclosure describes systems and manufacturing techniques directed to a user equipment (UE) that can be bezel-less and has a loop antenna system for radiating and sensing millimeter-waves. The UE includes a housing and a display within the housing. The display is disposed within a display layer across a primary plane defining a front surface of the user equipment. The loop antenna system is within the housing and is configured to radiate a field of millimeter-waves within the spatial region and sense a reflection of the millimeter-waves by an object within the spatial region. Described manufacturing techniques include multi-layer fabrication techniques that are applicable to printed circuit boards and/or integrated circuit (IC) devices.
