I thought that this was answered already but do not see the replies. The transistor gates on the die appear capacitive. The package interconnect is between those gates and the PCB. Yes impedance is frequency dependent. You can TDR, or perform S11 measurements on devices to characterize impedance as seen from the outside. Steve.
