[0022] The three-dimensional stacked high-power frequency conversion SiP module provided in this embodiment mainly includes an upper ceramic substrate 10 , a lower ceramic substrate 20 and a cover plate 30 .

[0023] The upper ceramic substrate 10 is stacked on the top of the lower ceramic substrate 20. The size of the upper ceramic substrate 10 is smaller than that of the lower ceramic substrate 20. The cover plate 30 is covered on the top of the lower ceramic substrate 20. The cover plate 30 can be sealed with the lower ceramic substrate 20 by sealing welding to achieve the airtightness of the three-dimensional stacked high-power frequency conversion SiP module. The cover plate 30 is made of metal.

[0024] The first frequency conversion chipset 11 is disposed on the top of the upper ceramic substrate 10 by using a die bonding process and is communicatively connected with the first radio frequency signal transmission link layer 12 .

The front of the second frequency conversion chipset 22 is arranged in the groove by a flip-chip process, and is directly interconnected with the lower ceramic substrate 20, so that the second frequency conversion chipset 22 is buried in the lower ceramic substrate 20, thereby reducing the height, reducing the volume, and reducing the transmission loss. The first frequency conversion chipset 11 and the second frequency conversion chipset 22 convert the intermediate frequency signal of the input baseband signal into a broadband high-power radio frequency signal. In this embodiment, the 1800±500MHz intermediate frequency signal can be converted twice by the first frequency conversion chipset 11 and the second frequency conversion chipset 22 to output a radio frequency signal with a frequency of 0.8-18GHz and a power greater than 10W.

[0026] In order to realize signal transmission between the first frequency conversion chipset 11 and the second frequency conversion chipset 22, a first RF signal transmission link layer 12 is provided in the upper ceramic substrate 10. The first RF signal transmission link layer 12 is used to transmit signals. A first through-hole group penetrating the first RF signal transmission link layer 12 is provided on the first RF signal transmission link layer 12, and a first through-hole metal 121 is provided in the first through-hole group.

The first frequency conversion chipset 11 is a low-power device and generates low heat. The second frequency conversion chipset 22 is a high-power device and generates high heat. By arranging the second frequency conversion chipset 22 on the heat sink, timely heat dissipation is achieved, ensuring the stable operation of the high-power frequency conversion component and improving stability.

The bottom of the metal boss 23 at least partially protrudes from the bottom of the lower ceramic substrate 20, so that the metal boss 23 can quickly exchange heat with the outside world. Without increasing the volume, the high-power frequency conversion component can quickly dissipate heat, ensure the stable operation of the high-power frequency conversion component, and improve stability.

[0051] In order to detect the loss, impedance matching, noise coefficient influence, etc. of the three-dimensional stacked high-power frequency conversion SiP module of the present invention, a transmission model is constructed for the three-dimensional stacked high-power frequency conversion SiP module of the present invention, and a simulation port 1 is set at the output end of the switch filter group at P1, and a simulation port 2 is set at P6. The transmission model is simulated, and the simulation results are shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, from Figure 4 From the simulation results, we can see that within the operating frequency range (0.8~18GHz), the return loss of the transmission model is less than -21dB and the insertion loss is less than 0.45dB. It can be seen that its broadband impedance matching is better, the insertion loss is lower, and the impact on the system performance is small.
