Abstract :
A millimeter-wave active inductor circuit has been designed and fabricated in 65 nm bulk CMOS technology. The measurement results show an equivalent inductance of 133 pH with a quality factor exceeding 400 at 50 GHz, demonstrating experimentally for the first time the implementation of high-Q active inductors operating at the millimeter-waves in CMOS technology.
