Abstract :
A CAD-oriented scaleable equivalent circuit model representing RF package leads and bond wires is presented. Skin effect and frequency dispersion are included making model valid above resonance frequency. Model parameters are extracted from real-world accurate S-parameter probing and data-fitting process. Ground inductance of bond wire arrays insides a plastic package is also characterized and analyzed. The package model has been well validated by a series of RFIC designs with all first-pass success
