Abstract—In this paper, the frequency-dependent Smith-Chart representation is utilized to improve the accuracy of integrated circuit package antenna (ICPA) design. The purpose of this research is to reveal that the frequency-dependent Smith-Chart method (FDSC) is more exact than alternative models adopted in past research. The results in this research show that the FDSC model is more accurate than the previous model in the literature by comparing to the measure results. The method utilized in this paper can be applied to use in CAD applications with fast and user-friendly implementations.

Index Terms—Frequency dependent, Smith-chart, ICPA, CAD.
