  • Abstract
    Multiturn rectangular spiral inductors in GaAs MMICs have been characterised theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical description developed is suited for layout-oriented CAD. It uses a rigorous multi strip analysis for the spiral substructures combined with a network approach and corrections for three-dimensional effects. Good agreement is obtained with corresponding broadband S-parameter measurements. A detailed consideration indicates that the modelling accuracy achieved is in the order of magnitude of manufacturing reproducibility.
