You can pass out a +ghz signal single endedly and if you think you can't get > 
100Mhz noise out of a package you are using some really &^%$* packages or are 
using die that don't have >100Mhz switching activity. In a package with coupled 
planes - the power planes look like transmission lines with distributed poles 
and zeros. Good flip chip packages have very low impedance between PCB and the 
die. I guarantee you can get high frequency noise down to the PCB - I've help 
troubleshoot a lot of boards for people who thought they couldn't. If you have 
a bunch of chips on a board with 400Mhz switching, spending time lowering the 
impedance of your power distribution at 400Mhz is time well spent.

ghz+ signals come out as differential signals. and 400mhz+ signals 
come out as transmission lines. most packages, coupled with on
die capacitance resonant around 100mhz or below.


>For you comment that 400Mhz can not propagate through the package ( good
packages can propagate higher frequencies >>than that) - how to you think
the Ghz + signals get out. The noise that comes out is a voltage divider
between the >reactance on the die/package and the power distribution
impedance on the board - another way to see why you want the >impedance on
the board to be small.
