N1 - Funding Information:
The module described in this paper was an actual receiver designed jointly between the Special Purpose Processor Development Group, Mayo Foundation; the Government and Systems Technology Group, Motorola; and Acsist Associates under an Advanced Research Projects Agency program (NRaD contract N66001-89-C-0104). This team designed, assembled, and tested a fully functional GPS receiver on a single substrate based on the Motorola GPS chip set and the Acsist MCM-L process.
Funding Information:
This effort was supported by funding from ARPNASTO under contract N66001-89-C-0104 from NCCOSC/NRaD. The authors would like to thank J. Pennella, ARPNASTO, and N. Ortwein, NRaD/Code 80, for program support; D. Jensen, E. Doherty and S. Richardson, Mayo Foundation, for manuscript and artwork preparation; M. Vickberg, Mayo Foundation, for technical, assembly, and test support; H. Kennedy, Motorola, for technical support; and C. Reynolds, Acsist Associates, for substrate design support.

N2 - Under an Advanced Research Projects Agency program (NRaD contract N66001-89-C-0104), the Special Purpose Processor Development Group, Mayo Foundation and the Government and Systems Technology Group, Motorola, have developed a fully functional Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver using Laminated Multichip Modules (MCM-Ls) fabricated by Acsist Associates. Though the many facets of GPS are of interest in themselves, this paper will use this particular module design as an example of a more generic mixed-signal (i.e., containing both analog and digital electronic elements) system, concentrating on the design, assembly, and test aspects related to typical mixed-signal MCM problems. Topics include system requirements, design constraints, substrate selection and description, design approach, assembly, and test.
