    摘要: A method for forming a low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) device includes forming a channel in a first LTCC tape layer. A wax is inserted in the channel. The wax is of a type that burns out at a temperature below a sintering temperature of the first LTCC tape layer. At least a second LTCC tape layer is stacked on the first LTCC tape layer to form a stack. The stack is pressed sufficiently for the first and second layers to bond into a laminate. The laminate is fired at the sintering temperature to form a sintered ceramic structure from the first and second LTCC tape layers, so that all or substantially all of the wax is burned out from the channel.

    摘要: A method for embedding optical band gap (OBG) devices in a ceramic substrate (100). The method includes the step (320) of pre-forming an OBG structure (105). The OBG structure can be a micro optical electromechanical systems (MOEMS) device. Further, the OBG structure can be preformed from indium phosphide and/or indium gallium arsenide. The method also includes the step (325) of coating the OBG structure with a surface binding material (230). The surface binding material can be comprised of calcium and hexane. The ratio of the calcium to hexane can be from about 1% to 2%. At a next step (330), the OBG structure can be inserted into the ceramic substrate. A pre-fire step (335) and a sintering step (340) then can be performed on the substrate.

    摘要: A slot fed microstrip patch antenna (200) includes an electrically conducting ground plane (208), the ground plane (208) having at least one coupling slot (206) and at least a first patch radiator (209). An antenna dielectric substrate material (205) is disposed between the ground plane (208) and the first patch radiator (209), wherein at least a portion of the antenna dielectric (210) includes magnetic particles (214). A feed dielectric substrate (212) is disposed between a feed line (217) and the ground plane (208). Magnetic particles can also be used in the feed line (217) dielectric. Patch antennas according to the invention can be of a reduced size through use of high relative permittivity dielectric substrate portions, yet still be efficient through use of dielectrics including magnetic particles which permit impedance matching of dielectric medium interfaces, such as the feed line (217) into the slot (206).

    摘要: A reactive element of selected value is integrated within a circuit board substrate. At least one conductive path is provided for defining a circuit element. The conductive path is selectively formed on first characteristic regions of a circuit board substrate. The substrate in the first characteristic regions can have a first permeability and first permittivity. One or more reactive elements can be interposed between portions of the conductive path. In particular, the reactive element can be formed on a second characteristic region of the substrate having a second permittivity and second permeability. Either the first permittivity, the first permeability, or both characteristics of the first regions can be different respectively from the second permittivity and the second permeability of the second characteristic region of the substrate. Consequently, a desired reactance value for the reactive element can be determined at least partially by either the second relative permittivity or the second relative permeability.
