Abstract

An improved frequency response for a bond wire (1) at high frequency operation is realized by using a matching element (13) including a meander line (9) structure. The frequency response is improved at an operating frequency by design. The matching element (13) compensates the bond wire (1) by tuning it as a length of high impedance transmission line and then completing the combined length of the bond wire (1) and matching element (13) to a length of half of a guided wavelength at the operating frequency
