Abstract

Abstract Package for mounting a transistor in a microwave stripline circuit comprising a metal base member, means disposed on the base member for grounding the emitter or base electrode of the transistor, and segments of low impedance microwave transmission lines disposed adjacent the grounding means, one of these including a ceramic core having both good dielectric and good heat conducting properties and being adapted to support the transistor and connect it to an RF output circuit. The other segment is adapted to electrically connect the transistor to an RF input circuit.
