  • Patent number: 6617946
    Abstract: A surface mount package for a microwave circuit is disclosed. The package has a port for transferring a signal from the microwave circuit to a printed circuit board. The package includes a base made from a dielectric material which includes vias which contain a conductive material and are electrically coupled to the ground potential of the printed circuit board. Conductive material is placed on the topside of the base forming a transmission line for carrying the signal in a transmission line mode. To facilitate operation in a transmission line mode, the length of the transmission line is a substantial portion of the wavelength of the signal. The transmission line provides electrical contact with a terminal of the microwave circuit and is electrically coupled to the port. Additionally, the transmission line forms an electromagnetic wave guiding structure.
