Abstract

A ribbon and a bonding wire are connected respectively to a high-frequency input and output of a microwave circuit, the width of the ribbon and/or the thickness of the bonding wire being varied continuously or discontinuously at a portion other than a portion used for bonding. By applying the ribbon and bonding wire to a microwave circuit package including a metallic substrate and sealing therein an MMIC mounted to the metallic substrate, desired high-frequency characteristics of the MMIC can be obtained.
