Abstract
We present the development of molded liquid crystal polymer (LCP) surface mount packages for millimeter wave applications. We show that a coplanar waveguide transmission line on a molded liquid crystal polymer has a measured insertion loss of less than 0.16 dB/mm. The LCP quad flat no-lead (QFN) has demonstrated a return loss of less than -16dB and insertion loss of less than -1.2 dB at 25 GHz.
