Definitions
- the present invention relates to a surface mount microwave package and such a package mounted on a multilayer circuit. It applies in particular to microwave boxes used in the fields of avionics, telecommunications, space. Microwave components are generally placed in boxes, called microwave boxes, one function of which is to protect the components from the external electromagnetic environment and to avoid the propagation of parasitic modes inside. To this end, the internal volume of the microwave boxes is surrounded by a conductive surface forming a mass, the dimensions of a box being less than half a wavelength (of the order of 70 mm for a frequency of 20 GHz). Another function of microwave boxes is to protect components from the external physical environment, in particular from humidity. For this purpose, the boxes are closed hermetically, a neutral gas being trapped in the box.
- a Planar Pack in Anglo-Saxon literature.
- a Planar Pack “case includes a ceramic element and an engraved metal sheet, called” Lead Frame “in Anglo-Saxon literature.
- the ceramic element generally has a base in the form of U, and is closed by a lid brazed on this base to ensure airtightness.
- a microwave component (bare chip for example) can be placed in the ceramic element.
- a surface of the ceramic element is gilded to form a
- the U-shaped base is carried by the etched metal sheet.
- This metal sheet includes microstrip lines to route the microwave signals to the microwave component, and lines to route the low frequency signals (power supply, control).
- the microwave lines radiate in the half-space delimited by the metallic sheet ("Lead Frame") on the side of the ceramic element. This results in parasitic electromagnetic couplings between the microwave input and output of the same box on the one hand, and between neighboring boxes on the other hand.
- An object of the invention is to provide input-outputs (microwave and low frequencies) in microwave packages, avoiding any parasitic electromagnetic coupling, and this in a simple manner.
- the subject of the invention is in particular a surface mount microwave box, delimiting an interior volume, comprising at least:
- connection point placed outside the Faraday cage, the connection point being intended to be electrically connected to an external circuit
- connection point being placed on the mounting surface, so that the connection point is placed between the Faraday cage and the external circuit when the box is mounted on the external circuit.
- the invention also relates to an assembly comprising such a housing and a multilayer circuit, the housing being mounted on the multilayer circuit, the multilayer circuit comprising at least one conductive ground plane, a metallized hole is produced in the multilayer circuit opposite from the connection point of the box, so as to route the signal through the ground plane to a track of the circuit.
- the tracks of the multilayer circuit are placed between two ground planes. In this way, the implantation of the card being provided so that the signal remains in stripline mode (via a metallized hole), the quality of its shielding is maintained.
- connection point is connected to the input-output by a straight link, the link being perpendicular to the external circuit when the housing is mounted on it.
- connection point is formed by a conductive signal ball
- the housing further comprises a coaxial structure shielding the connection point, the coaxial structure being formed by ground balls, conductive, electrically connected to Faraday's cage, placed around the signal ball.
- a component is placed in the interior volume of the housing, the component being carried by a radiator forming a housing face, the radiator being opposite the face carrying the mounting surface.
- the main advantages of the invention are that it makes it easy, compared with direct wiring to a circuit, to dismantle the box (since it is surface mounted) to carry out tests for example.
- the transitions being vertical (perpendicular to the plane of the circuit), the box according to the invention can be used in wideband applications.
- the contact points are formed by conductive balls. This allows soldering to be carried out simply and reliably, the distance between the circuit and the housing being linked to the diameter of the balls.
- disassembly of the housing can be done by sending a jet of hot air under the case, which would not be possible if the case was glued for example.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 an example of implementation of the invention with a housing in a "face up" configuration
- FIGS. 1 to 3 in which an example of implementation of the invention is shown, with a case of the "face up” type, that is to say the microwave component or components of which are placed on the wall. of the box which is intended to be mounted on the external circuit.
- the housing 1 makes it possible to delimit an interior volume 1a.
- a base 3 forms a wall of the housing.
- the base is intended to be mounted on the external circuit 6.
- the base 3 can be a printed circuit comprising two conductive layers.
- the printed circuit forming the base may include a different number of conductive layers.
- the circuit forming the base 3 can be made using an insulating material, preferably organic. This insulating material can be metallized with copper for example to form the two conductive layers.
- the circuit comprises a thickness of 3d insulating material, on which are deposited conductive layers on either side of the insulating thickness.
- the first conductive layer forms an inner face of the housing 1.
- This layer comprises conductive surfaces 3a, 3b, 3c etched by methods known to those skilled in the art.
- the second conductive layer can form an outer face of the housing (in this example). It essentially comprises a single conductive surface 3e. This conductive surface 3e covers almost entirely the entire surface of the base 3, forming a mass. This mass is intended to be electrically connected to the external circuit 6.
- the housing further comprises a conductive structure 4, 5 which forms with the surface 3e, a Faraday cage surrounding the interior volume 1a of the housing.
