  • Patent number: 5023993
    Abstract: The present invention incorporates a specially-designed low-pass filter into the feedthrough of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) to provide compensation for discrepancies from the impedance required for an MMIC package to be matched to a transmission line. The compensation allows all parameters to be adjusted and the complete filter to be printed.The main features of the invention include minimum width for the under-wall conductor and brazing metallization, two open-circuited stubs at the package-die interface for wire bonding ease, and metal-filled vias connecting the ground plane base and the lid sealing ring to bring the lid sealing ring to RF ground.The present invention also includes a method for designing the desired feedthrough the obviates the need for scale-model feedthrough design before printing, a prior art method that requires precision in the scale model. An electrical model of a feedthrough is first derived.
