RF - Elements in RF design

Wirebonds

Based on the webpage Microwaves101 plus some own research.

Rule of thumbs:

  • one-mil wire bonds ($25~\mathrm{\mu m}$ diameter), length in millimeters is nearly equal to inductance in nano-henries.
  • one-mil ($25~\mathrm{\mu m}$) wire that is 1mm (40 mils) long will present about 50 ohms of reactance at 10 GHz.

One can accept on the order of 50 Ohms reactants. TODO: Add a simulation of the reflection from such a four-port.

Compensating for the wire-bond
