I work for TriQuint Semiconductor. We build GaAs parts for cell phones and
other applications mostly at 1 to 2 GHz. I model packages up to about 10
GHz to account for harmonics. I have written a book on package modeling
that has just been published. Below are the details.

Package Electrical Modeling, Thermal
Modeling, and Processing for GaAs
Wireless Applications

ELECTRONIC PACKAGING AND
INTERCONNECTS SERIES
Volume 2
Package Electrical Modeling, Thermal Modeling, and
Processing for GaAs Wireless Applications reviews
the practical aspects of electrical and thermal
modeling of packages and has no equivalent on the
market, since it discusses analog (microwave)
packaging as opposed to digital packaging.
This book emphasizes low-cost industry-standard
packages; however, the principles translate well to
other categories of packages. The need for this book
arises from the fact that low-cost packages have not
been optimized for high-frequency use. With
high-volume commercial wireless markets now
expanding and cost reduction a primary concern, the
interest in modeling as a significant cost-cutting tool is
high.
Package Electrical Modeling, Thermal Modeling, and
Processing for GaAs Wireless Applications addresses
this interest and need, providing a comprehensive
approach to the state-of-the-art modeling and
processing techniques that professional engineers are
just beginning to utilize. Engineers and professionals
in the field of wireless packaging will find this book
interesting and of great value to their work.
