A thick film millimeter wave transceiver module includes a base plate and a multi-layer
substrate board having a plurality of layers of low temperature transfer tape received
on the base plate. The different layers can vary. They can include a DC signals
layer having signal tracks in connection; a ground layer having ground connections;
a device layer having capacitors and resistors embedded therein; and a top layer
having cut-outs for receiving MMIC chips therein. A solder preform layer is located
between the device layer and the top layer for securing any MMIC chips. A channelization
plate is received over the multi-layer substrate board and a channel is formed
to receive MMIC chips and provide isolation between transmit and receive signals.
