Abstract :
An accurate procedure is presented for the investigation of the electrical properties of rectangular spiral inductors. The models of the analyzed spiral inductors are composed of straight and bent multiple-line sections. The line sections are analyzed by the method of lines. For the bends of coupled lines, a new analysis is used. The procedure considers all self- and mutual inductances of the straight multiple-line sections, as well as the electrical characteristics of the bends of coupled lines
