Preface
Rapid advances in semiconductor and packaging technologies have promoted the development of two system design concepts known as system on chip (SoC) and system‐in‐package (SiP). SoC integrates analog, digital, mixed‐signal, and radio frequency (RF) circuits on a chip by a semiconductor process, while SiP implements separately manufactured functional blocks in a package by a packaging process. SoC yields improved system reliability and functionality at a much lower system cost. However, it degrades system performance and increase system power consumption due to unavoidable compromises in every circuit type in order to use the same material and process. On the contrary, SiP enhances system performance and reduces system power consumption but results in lower system reliability and higher system cost because of functional blocks and the fabrication of the package with different materials and processes.
Antennas are essential components
