Abstract

Several methods of packaging high speed (75-330 GHz) InP HEMT MMIC devices are discussed. Coplanar wirebonding is presented with measured insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB and return loss better than -17 dB from DC to 110 GHz. A motherboard / daughterboard packaging scheme is presented which supports minimum loss chains of MMICs using this coplanar wirebonding method. Split-block waveguide packaging approaches are presented in G-band (140-220 GHz) with two types of MMIC-waveguide transitions: E-plane probe and antipodal finline.
