Modeling of on‐chip inductors and transformers for GaAs mmics

In this paper, numerical and experimental characterization and modeling of monolithically integrated inductors and transformers on GaAs substrate is performed. The approach is based on the equivalent lumped-element model. The extraction procedure for the model parameters is given in detail. An acceptable agreement between the simulated and measured results is achieved. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
