SHIELDED RF TRANSMISSION LINES IN LOW TEMPERATURE CO-FIRED CERAMIC CONSTRUCTS AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

An integrated circuit assembly which includes stacked printed ceramic substrate layers, and incorporates a shielding enclosure extending about the electrical conductor traces and interconnects which form the assembly circuitry. The shielding enclosure is configured to reduce electric and/or magnetic field leakage or interference with the traces and interconnects. The enclosure is provided as a cage about the assembly circuitry, and which is formed as arrays of ground conductors in electrical communication with ground plates.
