Foreword
The question how to package an electronic component has become a key issue in RF system development. In many cases it decides about the "to be, or not to be". In the end, it is a combination of electrical, thermal and mechanical properties as well as fabrication cost which makes the difference. All these aspects need to be taken into account and this multi-disciplinary approach distinguishes packaging development from classical circuit design. Moreover, when packaging modules in the microwave and mm-wave range, there is no general solution which could be used as a standard overall. The best choice varies depending on frequency range, application, volume and cost limitations, just to name some of the most important boundary conditions. While in the low GHz range the situation is relatively mature and high-volume lowcost approaches are in routine use for the mobile communications market, in the mm-wave frequency range above 100 GHz the la
