Abstract :
This paper presents characterization of on-chip inductors in giga Hertz range for wireless communication products. We compare several different on-chip inductors for self-resonant frequency and quality factor. The measurement data could be used for designing practical spiral inductors for wireless applications. We provide the equivalent inductor circuit parameters from the measured data.
