Abstract: A method of making an electronic assembly comprising an electronic component that is attached to a circuit board by protruding solder bumps of the electronic component places the electronic component on a surface of the circuit board so that solder bumps on the bottom of the electronic component engage contact pads on the top of the circuit board. The solder bumps are then reflowed to attach the electronic component to the circuit board after which the electronic component is underfilled by providing a mold die having a mold cavity, a gate leading into the mold cavity and a vent leading out of the mold cavity. The mold die is placed over the electronic component and onto the surface of the circuit board so that the electronic component is inside the mold cavity and the mold cavity is sealed. An encapsulating material, preferably an epoxy material, is transferred or injected into the mold cavity to fill space between the respective surfaces of the electronic component and the circuit board and then cured to encapsulate the solder bumps that have been reflowed. An optional integrated heat sink for the electronic component may be used when practicing the method of the invention to make an electronic assembly.

Abstract: A transmitter in a radiocommunications system such as a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) communications system transmits one set of data on an in-phase (I-) channel and another set of data on a quadrature (Q-) channel. The transmitter generates a gain signal, ², and multiplies the digital data associated with the Q-channel by the gain signal, ². Complexity of the multiplication operation is reduced by limiting the gain signal, ², to a finite number of values that are exactly representable by a predefined number of bits, such as 4-bit values to the right of a binary radix point. Modulation inaccuracy associated with quantization of ² can be eliminated by utilizing the same quantized values of ² in all components within the radiocommunications system.
