Abstract

An apparatus for processing high frequency signals comprises a circuit board has a trace. An electrical circuit is fabricated on a die, which is mounted on the circuit board. The die has a top portion and a contact point is positioned on the top portion. The circuit is configured to process a signal having a frequency in the range of about 20 GHz and higher. A capacitor is mounted on the circuit board and has a top portion and bottom portion. The bottom portion opposes the trace. A wire extends between the contact point on the top portion of the die and the top portion of the capacitor. The wire has a length in the range of about 2 mils to about 12 mils.
