Interposers with Millimeter-Wave Transitions - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149026 titled 'Interposers with Millimeter-Wave Transitions
The abstract describes a compact integrated circuit (IC) that outputs millimeter-wave energy and can be assembled into a highly compact package with ultrasmall contacts or nonstandard pitch contacts. The IC can be mounted on an interposer with an integrated transition for coupling to a millimeter-wave waveguide on a printed circuit board with standardized size and pitch contacts.
- The compact IC outputs millimeter-wave energy.
- It can be assembled into a highly compact package.
- Utilizes ultrasmall contacts or contacts with nonstandard pitch.
- Can be mounted on an interposer with an integrated transition.
- Coupled to a millimeter-wave waveguide on a printed circuit board with standardized size and pitch contacts.
Potential Applications: - Telecommunications - Radar systems - Satellite communication - Wireless networks
Problems Solved: - Miniaturization of millimeter-wave energy output devices - Integration into compact packages - Compatibility with standardized contacts on printed circuit boards
Benefits: - Compact size - Efficient millimeter-wave energy output - Compatibility with existing PCB contacts
Commercial Applications: This technology can be used in the development of compact and efficient millimeter-wave energy output devices for various applications in the telecommunications, radar, satellite communication, and wireless networking industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the compact IC achieve efficient millimeter-wave energy output? 2. What are the advantages of using an interposer with an integrated transition in this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
A compact integrated circuit (IC) that outputs millimeter-wave energy can be assembled into a highly compact package that can utilize ultrasmall contacts and/or contacts arrange with nonstandard pitch. The millimeter-wave IC can be assembled onto an interposer that includes an integrated transition configured to be coupled to a millimeter-wave waveguide on a printed circuit board having contacts that have a standardized size and pitch.
