We present the development of a hermetic shield packaging enclosure for RF microelectromechanical system switches (MEMS) using Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). A cavity formed in LCP has been laminated, at low temperature, onto a Si MEMS switch to create a hermetically sealed package. The hermetically sealed enclosure is a stack-up layer of the multi-layer organic chip-on-flex system-on-a-package (SOP). The entire SOP hermetically sealed package has a total insertion loss of ∼0.5 dB at X-band. E595 outgas tests demonstrate that the LCP package is reliable and hermetically protects the MEMS switch.

A new type of leaky-wave antenna (LWA) using half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) as the base structure is proposed in this paper. The structure consists of an array of slot, antenna designed to operate in X band applications from 8 to 12 GHz. HMSIW preserves nearly all the advantages of SIW whereas its size is nearly reduced by half. The antenna radiates one main beam that can be steered from the backward to the forward direction by changing frequency.
