RF-microwave multi-band design solutions for multilayer organic system on package integrated passives

摘要

We present multi-band design solutions for integrated passives using multilayer organic (MLO) process technology for RF and microwave System on Package(SOP) module development. The components developed in this technology include embedded high Q compact inductors and filters designed in three frequency bands: S, C and Ku applicable for Bluetooth, MMDS, IEEE802.11a WLAN and satellite communications. Measured inductor Q factor as high as 182 and Self-Resonant-Frequency(SRF) as high as 20GHz, which represents the highest Q in its frequency range reported to date in a multilayer technology, have been demonstrated. A time domain electromagnetic modeling technique is also use to characterize passive devices.
