1. An antenna module, comprising:
a plurality of antenna patches in a first plane defined in linear co-ordinates by a first axis and an orthogonal second axis; and
a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) die in a second plane parallel to the first plane and offset from the first plane along a third axis mutually orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis,
wherein:
the antenna patches are arranged in a linear array along the first axis with a center of each antenna patch along the first axis,
each antenna patch has an edge along a fourth axis in the first plane, and
there is a non-zero angle between the fourth axis and the first axis.
