A SPICE Compatible Model of on-Wafer Coupled Interconnects for CMOS Rfics
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 102, 287-299, 2010
Abstract
This paper investigates the properties of the on-wafer coupled interconnects built in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology for RF applications. A SPICE compatible equivalent circuit model is developed. The proposed model is an extension of a 2-Ⅱ equivalent circuit model for single-line interconnects by adding two coupling components. The model parameters are extracted from four-port S-parameter simulation results through a calibrated electromagnetic (EM) simulator, i.e. HFSS. The accuracy of the model is validated from 500 MHz to 20 GHz.
