Abstract :
We report here the results of study of Glob top encapsulation of an MMIC amplifier and a multi-chip system. A broadband (2.5-5.0 GHz) amplifier MMIC and a VCO+ HPA system working in L-Band were packaged using Glob top encapsulant epoxy. The effect of this encapsulation on the performance of these MMICs was characterized. The alteration in performance is analyzed and method to compensate the alteration is suggested.
