Abstract

In this paper a model based on lumped elements is used to characterize integrated inductors. The method proposed allows the modelling of integrated inductors for a wide range of frequencies, thus granting the overall characterization of the device and the evaluation of important design parameters such as inductance, quality factor and resonance frequency. The model can easily be applied to any polygonal shape inductor due to its inductance calculation through self and mutual inductances. Electromagnetic simulations results are presented to demonstrate the validation of the model.
