1. An electronic device, comprising:
a substrate having a first side, a second side, a conductive feed line, a conductive layer, and a conductive terminal, the second side being spaced apart from the first side along a first direction, the conductive feed line being spaced apart from the first side along the first direction, the conductive layer being spaced apart from the conductive feed line along the first direction, the conductive layer including an aperture aligned with a portion of the conductive feed line, and the conductive terminal being attached to the second side of the substrate;
a semiconductor die attached to the first side of the substrate, the semiconductor die being spaced apart from the aperture along a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction, and the semiconductor die comprising: a first terminal coupled to the conductive feed line, and a second terminal coupled to the conductive layer;
an antenna assembly having a first side, a second side, a conductive antenna, and an insulator, the first side of the antenna assembly being spaced apart from and facing the first side of the substrate along the first direction, the conductive antenna including a first portion exposed along the second side of the antenna assembly, and a second portion exposed along the first side of the antenna assembly, the second portion being spaced apart from and at least partially facing the aperture along the first direction; and
a support structure mounted to a portion of the first side of the substrate and to a portion of the first side of the antenna assembly, the support structure supporting the first side of the antenna assembly spaced apart from the first side of the substrate along the first direction.
