it's in a 24 lead-CSP package and i am wondering if it is possible to solder it with hand before i am going to layout the pcb... the lines are soo small, about 0.2millimeter so all soldering tricks are welcome to fix the job:)
thx

Hand-soldering CSP packages like the ADF4360 was discussed a month or so back. The synopsis is that you just need to stick a largish via in the ground pad under the part so that you can ground the part's paddle, and extend the pads for the 24 leads beyond the perimeter of the package so that you can solder the part as though it were some sort of tiny PLCC package with its leads pressed outside-in. (Using a "drag soldering" technique, as you would for, e.g., SSOP parts.)
You can also just use solder paste, a template, and a "reflow oven" (this often means: toaster oven) if you want to go that route.

If someone has some free time, could you please make that footprint for Eagle users and post that part in the library at
