Abstract
Methods and systems for processing signals via power splitters embedded in an integrated circuit package may include generating via a power splitter, one or more RF signals proportional to one or more received RF signals. The power splitter may be integrated in a multi-layer package. The generated RF signals may be processed via an integrated circuit, which may be electrically coupled to the multi-layer package. The power splitters may include quarter wavelength transmission lines. The transmission lines may include a microstrip structure or a coplanar structure. The power splitters may be bonded to one or more capacitors in the integrated circuit. The capacitors may include CMOS devices in the integrated circuit. The power splitters may include lumped devices which may include surface mount devices coupled to the multi-layer package or devices within the integrated circuit, which may be flip-chip bonded to the multi-layer package.
