Abstract
The demonstration of a $50 package for GaAs MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) microwave module applications has not been achieved yet. The authors outline the requirements for microwave packaging and describe three low-cost metal-package solutions: (1) brazed construction, (2) metal injection molded construction, and (3) pressure infiltration casting. It is concluded that housing costs that are less than $50 for large quantities can be achieved. If minimum weight is not an essential requirement, a 10-20% cost savings appears to be possible.<>
