Abstract:This paper presents a synthesis flow for building lumped circuit models of arbitrary complexity for mm-wave IC passive components, based on S-parameters obtained by measurements or electromagnetic (EM) field simulations. Lumped circuit models are needed in time-domain simulations, or to speed up the fine-tuning of passive circuit blocks, as iterating is much faster in circuit simulators than in EM simulator. Modeling algorithm is implemented in MATLAB, and the design flow has a few new features. The device mod… Show more
