Modeling and simulation methods for RF MEMS VCOs

Creator:

Sankaranarayanan, Janakiram Ganesh

Abstract:

This work focusses on the modeling and the development of efficient coupled simulation techniques for MEMS based RF oscillators. High-level models for MEMS based varactors have been discussed and their accuracy issues are identified, based on comparisons with numerical simulations. A faster simulation approach based on the time-domain shooting method...

A test fixture and deembedding procedure for high-frequency substrate characterization

Creator:

Webb, Kyle M.

Abstract:

At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation must account for the reactive nature of the substrate. Unlike at low frequencies, where the purely resistive substrate models can be validated through DC resistance measurements, these high-frequency models, comprising reactive components, must be validated through...
