A Spice Compatible Model of On-wafer Coupled Interconnects for Cmos Rfics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the properties of the on-wafer coupled interconnects built in a 0.18μm CMOS technology for RF applications. A SPICE compatible equivalent circuit model is developed. The proposed model is an extension of a 2-Π 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 20GHz.

Spice Compatible Model for Multiple Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Application in Transient Analysis of VLSI Circuits
An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
