Abstract :
In a collaborative project, the Mayo Foundation and Motorola have developed a fully functional miniaturized global positioning system (GPS) receiver using laminated multichip modules (MCM-L). This paper presents the system requirements, design constraints, substrate selection criteria and description, design approach, assembly, and test of a fully operational GPS receiver to describe the generic mixed-signal design techniques used during the development cycle
