New high quality factor solenoid based tuned resonator

Summary form only given, as follows. A novel off-chip solenoid resonator was designed, and fabricated. The resonator included four embedded copper vias and three surface conductors to shape a rectangular coil with a series capacitance introduced in the via. Significant enhancement was realized in the quality factor using pole transfer. The result increased the Q-factor to 306. The analytical design was investigated using both a circuit model and electromagnetic EM-simulation. Measurements were in close agreement with simulations.
