General question on Packaging and circuit Board - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hello everybody,

I have an open and general question regarding material such as Roger3000, LTCC or Ceramic..

I have heard people complaning about those material at frequency above 30GHz, either for the loss, for the unstable lateral dimensions or price.

Does anyone has experience with those type of material for either packaging or circuit and could give me more details.. What problems do people usually face with those type of materials?

Is there a frequency at which there is no solution for chip on package or it is to expensive(above $100/inch^2)?? or just to much twinking required???

I hope my question is not to vague... and there is some kind of response...

Thank you

JM
