Abstract
A wireless device includes one or more transmit chains configured to upconvert signals from a baseband frequency to a carrier frequency for transmission over a wireless medium, one or more receive chains configured to down-convert signals received over the wireless medium from the carrier frequency to the baseband frequency, a power rail configured to provide a supply voltage to at least the one or more transmit chains and the one or more receive chains, and a first antenna element configured to transmit the upconverted signals over the wireless medium or to receive signals transmitted over the wireless medium. In some instances, the first antenna element may be formed using a first signal line associated with the transmit chains, a first signal line associated with the receive chains, or the power rail. In other instances, the first antenna element may be formed using segments of other signal lines or power rail of the wireless device.
