Low cost wideband RF port structure for microwave circuit packages using coplanar waveguide and BGA I/O format

摘要

A MMIC package comprises a trace pattern of a coplanar wave guide which matches impedances at all transitions to enhance signal transmission and avoid reflection. The invention employs metalization on a dielectric substrate material wherein this metalization is patterned in order to provide gaps and signal carrying conductors which enhance the signal propagation and reduce impedance mismatches in order to provide a package capable of handling high frequency microwave signals.
