Case Study
Titanium-Aluminum (TAP) Hermetic Microwave Packaging
Application Note: Titanium-Aluminum (TAP) Hermetic Microwave Packaging Customer Challenge A customer who manufactures aircraft radar systems requested that the hermetic packaging for its Integrated Microwave Assembly (“IMA”) be constructed of a material that has high thermal conductivity, has low coefficient of thermal expansion (“CTE”), and is lightweight. Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to allow the flow of heat from its
