Fast radio frequency package

Abstract:

A device package includes a chip carrier having a cavity and one or more microwave waveguides configured to route signals. There is a chip including one or more pads and located within the cavity of the chip carrier. Each pad is aligned with a corresponding connector pad of a microwave waveguide of the one or more microwave waveguides of the chip carrier. At least one of the one or more pads is coupled to the connector pad of the corresponding microwave waveguide by way of an overlap capacitive coupling between the at least one pad and the aligned corresponding connector pad of the microwave waveguide.
