LCP mmic packaging evaluation samples

Labtech LCP mmic packaging evaluation samples now available

To demonstrate Labtech Microwave's mmic packaging capability we have produced a 5mm x 5mm QFN style package using pcb laminate – LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) material. The package is designed with a 2.05mm x 2.55 mm cavity enabling it to incorporate an mmic with its associated decoupling capacitors. Simulated performance at 30 Ghz provides less than 0.3dB insertion loss and a return loss of 13dB per RF port when attached to a microstrip feed host board.

Included in the sample pack:
  • 2 off LCP packages 5mm x 5mm with 2.05mm x 2.55mm cavity
  • 1 off LCP package with 50 ohm through line (no cavity)
  • 2 off RO3003 mounting circuits
  • 3 off R04003 lids
Contact us on +44 (0) 1544 260093 to request your sample pack
