The final goal for mm-w RF <strong>module</strong><br />

- 3 dimension<strong>all</strong>y integrate <strong>all</strong> circuits of RF front-end system into<br />

a single system-in-package. Using GND vias and planes, MMICs and<br />

passive circuits can be vertic<strong>all</strong>y deployed.<br />

Resonance and isolation<br />

- These GND structures can generate parasitic resonance modes<br />

that degrade integrated devices and the RF system.<br />
