Packaged electronic components for producing a sub-harmonic frequency signal at millimetric frequencies
First Claim
1. An electronic component mounted in an individual package and intended to be connected to other components of an electronic system, said electronic component comprising:
- one or more integrated circuit chips working around a main millimetric frequency F greater than 45 GHz, wherein said package has at least two ports for communicating electrical signals between the interior and the exterior of said package, the first port being a port with transition by contactless electromagnetic coupling for the transmission of signals at the main frequency greater than 45 GHz, and the second port being a port with microstrip or coaxial type transition for the transmission of a main frequency F/N that is a subharmonic of the frequency F, where N is ≧

Abstract
The invention relates to millimetric packaged electronic components for applications at high frequencies greater than 45 GHz. According to the invention, to facilitate the design of a system including MMIC chips working at these frequencies, it is proposed to use packages containing one or more chips, these packages making it possible to work at these frequencies and including two types of port: a port with transition by contactless electromagnetic coupling providing a connection with an antenna at the high working frequency F via a waveguide; and a port with microstrip or coaxial line type transition enabling a connection at a subharmonic frequency F/N (preferably N=6 or 4 or, if necessary, 3) of the working frequency.
