Abstract :
On-chip variable inductor using MOSFET switches is presented in this paper. Two MOSFET switches and one inverter are used to vary inductance. An EM simulator and a circuit simulator are used to evaluate characteristics of the variable inductor. Simulated results show that inductance varies around 82.3% at 1.6GHz.
