Patent ID: 8804366

Claim:
A method of operating a microelectronic package, comprising: receiving a signal; processing the signal through a first filter integrally formed microelectronic package to provide a first harmonic rejection, the first filter including: a first metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor serially coupled between a plurality of the bond pads formed on a die having at least a radio frequency (RF) amplifier circuit formed thereon; a first wire bond coupling a first of the bond pads to a package output, wherein the first of the bond pads is coupled to an amplifier output; a second wire bond coupling a second of the bond pads to a package ground; and transmitting the signal to an output of the microelectronic package; processing the signal through a second filter integrally formed in the microelectronic package to provide a second harmonic rejection, the second filter including: a second MIM capacitor coupled in parallel to the first MIM capacitor and between the first and a third of the bond pads; a third wire bond coupling the first of the bond pads to the output of the microelectronic package; and a fourth wire bond coupling the third of the bond pads to the package ground.
