Summary<br />

� Analysis <strong>of</strong> partially integrated <strong>LTCC</strong> module is<br />

useful<br />

1) Saving simulation time<br />

2) Rapid redesign<br />

3) Best design cycle performance<br />

� Simulation agree with measured data<br />

� HFSS & Serenade is well suited for <strong>Integrated</strong><br />

<strong>LTCC</strong> Module Analysis
