  • Abstract
    This paper presented a RF model of an accumulation-mode MOS varactor for RF applications. Based on this model, simple and continuous equation has been used for describing the characteristics of the device in all operation regions. With a single topology composed of lumped elements, this model can be easily used in commercial circuit simulators. Based on S-parameter measurement, excellent agreement was obtained between measured data and model up to 40 GHz.
