Printed antenna devices are provided, which can operate at RF and microwave frequencies, for example, while simultaneously providing antenna performance characteristics such as high gain/directivity/radiation efficiency, high bandwidth, hemispherical radiation patterns, impedance, etc., that render the antennas suitable for voice communication, data communication or radar applications, for example. Further, apparatus are provided for integrally packaging such printed antenna devices with IC (integrated circuit) chips (e.g., transceiver) to construct IC packages for, e.g., wireless communications applications.

What is claimed is: 1. An IC (integrated circuit) package device, comprising: a package substrate having a ground plane formed on a surface thereof; an IC chip bonded to the surface of the package substrate; a planar substrate comprising an antenna pattern formed on a first surface of the planar substrate, wherein the planar substrate is flip-chip bonded to the IC chip such that the antenna pattern faces toward the ground plane of the package substrate and the first surface of the planar substrate is disposed substantially parallel to, and displaced from, the ground plane of the package substrate; and a package cover formed over the package base substrate to encapsulate the IC chip and planar substrate, wherein the package cover comprises an opening that exposes a portion of a second surface of the planar substrate opposite a portion of the first surface of the planar substrate having the antenna pattern. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein a space between the ground plane and planar substrate is filled with air. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein a space between the ground plane and planar substrate is filled with foam. 4. The device of claim 1, further comprising a antenna feed network formed on the first surface of the planar substrate, wherein the feed network is connected to contacts on the IC chip using solder balls. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the antenna feed network comprises an impedance matching network. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the antenna has a resonant frequency of about 20 GHz or greater. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the antenna pattern is a folded dipole antenna or a dipole antenna. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the antenna pattern is a patch antenna. 9. The device of claim 1, further comprising a beamshaping pattern formed on one of the first surface of the planar substrate, the exposed portion of the second surface of the planar substrate, and both the first surface and the exposed portion of the second surface of the planar substrate, to reduce radiation in a direction along the plane of the planar substrate. 10. The device of claim 1, further comprising a beamshaping pattern formed on one of the first surface of the planar substrate, the exposed portion of the second surface of the planar substrate, and both the first surface and the exposed portion of the second surface of the planar substrate, to enhance a vertical radiation in a hemisphere above the second surface of the planar substrate. 11. The antenna of claim 9, wherein the antenna pattern comprises a folded dipole antenna or a dipole antenna, and wherein the beamshaping pattern comprises first and second metal strips that extend parallel to a longitudinal axis of the folded dipole. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the IC chip comprises a transceiver, a receiver, or a transmitter.
