INTRODUCTION
method for a 90–Watt power device.
methodology is recommended for any ceramic/metal flange
device with similar materials and construction (copper
tungsten flange with ceramic insulator and Alloy–42 leads)
and up to 90 Watts of RF output power. This mounting method
involves soldering the CuW flange to a heatsink with the leads
soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB). Critical elements
that must be carefully addressed are mechanical stress of the
assembly and thermal management. The mounting method
described has adequately taken these issues into account. A
power life test evaluation was done as verification.
operates at 1.9 GHz with 90 Watts of output power. Similar
devices operate between 1.8 to 2.1 GHz with 90 Watts of output
power.
MOUNTING METHOD
solder mount assembly line with device leads solder attached
to a PCB and the flange soldered to a copper pallet. The
pallets were bolted to fan–cooled, finned aluminum heatsinks
with thermal compound on the interface. Power life testing
was done at a specific duty cycle and heatsink temperature.
