Abstract:An Integrated Passive Device (IPD) on GaAs technology has been developed to meet the ever increasing needs of size and cost reduction in radio transmit module applications. Extensive electromagnetic (EM) simulations were used in the design of process technology and the optimization of inductor and harmonic filters design and layout. Parameters such as inductor shape, inner diameter, metal thickness, metal width and substrate thickness have been optimized to provide inductors with high quality factors. The tech… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
