Abstract :
Today, many microwave circuit designers are noticing that their circuits do not perform quite as well as predicted when they enclose their circuit boards within a package. Cavity resonances are generated inside the package that can change the impedances necessary for proper operation of some circuit elements. With frequencies of operation increasing, this is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue in circuit design.
