SLOTLINE-MOUNTED FLIP CHIP STRUCTURES

摘要

First and second slotlines (12, 14) are mounted on an electrically insulating substrate (16) having a planar face with a connection region (30). Each slotline (12, 14) has first and second coplanar conductors (18, 20 and 32, 34) that extend into the connection region. A chip circuit (28) includes first and second field-effect transistors (40, 42) flip mounted in the connection region (30) to all five conductors (18, 20, 32, 34, 38). This general configuration can be modified for use as an amplifier, oscillator and mixer.
