Modeling Passive Devices for CMOS RF Circuits

J. Valdés, R. Torres, R. Murphy (INAOE, Mexico)

Herein we present a summary of our research on two important aspects of CMOS RF modeling of passive devices. These aspects have to do with a representation of integrated inductors in an extended frequency range, up to 60 GHz, as well as consideration regarding coplanar waveguides, which are the most common type of interconnects in ICs.
