Abstract
A new LTCC technology is described which offers excellent performance for the fabrication of millimetre-wave planar microwave circuits. The technology provides significant commercial benefits in terms of cost and suitability for high volume production when compared with alternative processes yielding the same microwave performance. Measurement data show a 50 Ω line loss of 0.03 dB/mm at 40 GHz on the LTCC material, which is comparable with that obtained with etched lines on 99.6% microwave quality alumina
