Abstract :
A description is given of the use of parametric, frequency-dependent models for more accurate and realistic active and passive computer-aided design (CAD) model development. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the power of this method for the design of analog circuits. The first example concerns a spiral inductor model. The second example involves a voltage-controlled wideband attenuator.<>
