Abstract :
A microwave packaging materials database is designed and implemented to enable materials tolerant microwave packaging design. Over 200 products covering 14 different packaging applications are included in this "stand-alone" application that requires no additional host software. Advanced search routines permit designers to select packaging materials based on a combination of materials properties. Use of this database reduces design cycle time and non-recurring (NRE) engineering cost and can expedite the insertion of new materials into microwave packaging design.
