Abstract

This paper reports on the on wafer evaluation up to 67 GHz of a complete library of coplanar elements for application in MMIC design. The elements under consideration were fabricated on GaAs and simulated utilising a quasi-static 3D-FD tool and measured by a state-of-the-art measurement system. This library covers the range from transmission lines over discontinuities/junctions to lumped elements like inductors, resistors (TFR) and capacitors (MIM). Transmission line effects of TFR´s with high DC values and MIM´s with relative large geometries are also discussed in this paper.<>
