Abstract :
This paper describes the approach used for the development of a multi-function in the millimeter wave range. Cost effective designs done in industrial environment require margin on performances for high electrical yield, size optimization and assembly constraints taken into account during the design phase. All the key steps of the development phase are considered and illustrated with concrete examples.
