Abstract

The influence of full-filled polymer molding on high-frequency circuits in cellular phones is evaluated using computer simulations and high-frequency measurements. Polymer-molded high-frequency circuits of cellular phones increase radiation harmonics and line and antenna phase errors. High-frequency properties are degraded due to a decrease in line impedance and an increase in stray capacitance of land electrodes that are used in the assembly of components. Degradation problems caused by full-filled polymer molding can be alleviated by appropriate circuit design, such as by adjusting the distance of components and creating more effective electromagnetic shielding. Better circuit design must satisfy the specifications of several different types of cellular phones, including global systems mobile telecommunications and digital cellular systems.
