Abstract :
On the basis of a planar approach, an equivalent circuit model of MMIC overlay capacitors with feeding lines in generic position has been derived. Closed expressions for the equivalent circuit elements are presented. The validity of the proposed circuit has been successfully tested with experimental data. Its simplicity and flexibility makes it attractive for implementation in CAD packages
