To facilitate the high paced demand for miniaturization and integration of the RF portion of the wireless subsystem, Amkor Technology and Intel Corporation have started to engage in using SiP (system in package) technology for new RF products. This initiated the development of a complete design chain flow involving package development using integrated and overmolded RF shielding, RF circuit design with integrated components, specialized testing, and assembly processes. Both parties have aligned their efforts to continually optimize their respective RF-SiP designs. Both parties' system engineers, circuit designers, RF silicon engineers, layout specialists, RF test engineers, and manufacturing teams have engaged to work together in an optimized design environment. The SiP design team was challenged with miniaturization, cost reductions, performance enhancements, high volume manufacturability, and shortened design cycles. This paper provides an overall RF subsystem high level overview and it discusses in detail the frequency domain response of embedded passive filters in a multilayer low cost organic substrate. It also illustrates how the measured data is combined with accurate full wave 3D simulation, for enhanced tool calibration and design optimization.","PeriodicalId":253574,"journal":{"name":"2005 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference Proceedings","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115442558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depend on receiving signal strength, there are four gain modes can be selecting automatically. The compact CMOS LNA is optimized for low-power-consuming ISM band applications and is fabricated using commercial 0.18/spl mu/m CMOS process. With current re-use technology, the power consumption and linearity can be optimizing. The fully integrated 2.4GHz gain controllable LNA exhibits 15.2dB maximum gain, 4.1dB minimum gain, respectively. Also, the LNA has excellent noise performance at high gain mode; 1.55dB of noise figure is achieved in this work.

Relevant objects in the radiation field can harm the intended characteristics of these systems. Modern state-of-the-art simulations can predict in an increasing number of complicated cases the electrical performance in the presence of these objects. Countermeasures can be designed from this knowledge. This paper deals mainly with the \"threat\" (potentially in-acceptable distortions) by the forthcoming new large aircraft A380 on the widely spread ILS (instrument landing system; operating at 110/330MHz) installed on every major airport. The related system simulations and the mathematical and numerical analyses are outlined and some results for different numerical cases are presented. It is in particular emphasized to apply 3D and sophisticated state-of-the-art methods which are adapted to the 3D characteristics of the objects in contrast to inadequately simple methods. For the case of the new Airbus A380 some principle results are presented using simple physical optics based methods, trials to improve the simple PO by creating \"fudge factors\" by measurements and in contrast results for rigorous and quasi-rigorous numerical methods. Large errors for a simple physical optics PO treatment in contrast to the rigorous method-of-moments MoM and improved physical optics IPO solution are presented and explained. The practical consequences for airports illustrate the necessity of reliable state-of-the-art system simulations and the application of advanced electromagnetic scattering analysis.","PeriodicalId":253574,"journal":{"name":"2005 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference Proceedings","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114910258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
