In some embodiments, the one or more antenna elements 104A-B include a slot antenna that includes a metal surface (e.g., a flat metal surface) with one or more holes or slots removed (e.g., cut out). The slot antenna may radiate electromagnetic waves similar to a dipole antenna. The shape and size of the slot, in addition to the driving frequency, may determine the radiation pattern.
In at least one embodiment, the antenna module 100 includes an RF choke located between the first via (not shown) and an inter-module gap formed between two or more antenna modules. The RF choke includes a set of vias, each disposed within an insulating layer of the circuit board 106 and coupled to adjacent conducting layers of the circuit board 106. The set of vias may be disposed in a first arrangement (e.g., vias 142 of
