MULTILAYER CERAMIC PACKAGE WITH HIGH FREQUENCY CONNECTIONS

摘要

A multilayer ceramic package is disclosed which includes a high frequency interconnect (10) that simulates the performance of a conventional coaxial connector. The interconnect comprises a signal conductor (30) surround by the ceramic material (18, 20) forming the package. A plurality of vias (22, 24) are formed through the ceramic material so as to surround the conductor. These vias are then connected to a ground plane (14, 16) to form the outer shielding for the high frequency interconnect.
