Abstract

An enclosure assembly for a high frequency integrated circuit. The enclosure assembly includes a plurality of lead terminals that are part of a lead frame. The lead terminals are connected to electrical ports of the circuit within the enclosure to connect the circuit to other integrated circuits and/or to a printed circuit board. A portion of the lead terminals outside of the enclosure has a specially shaped flared region that establishes the characteristic impedance of the circuit on the lead lines outside of the enclosure.
