Abstract

Accurate circuit models for several passive components in coplanar waveguide have been developed. These models utilize lumped and distributed circuit elements available in computer-aided design software packages and have element values that are derived from measured S-parameter data, geometrical data and physical process parameters. This work discusses the development of the models and verifies their accuracy by comparing measured and modeled S-parameters to 50 GHz.
