Broadband modeling of on-chip transformers for silicon RFICs

Creator:

Rapolu, Kavitha

Abstract:

Magnetically coupled passive transformers are increasingly integrated on-chip for various analog and radio frequency (RF) applications including direct current (DC) isolation, impedance transformation/matching, and conversion between single-ended and differential signals. A primary motivation for the on-chip integration of transformers is the overall size reduction and reduced cost. However, the performance...

Modeling and Design of Interconnects and Passive Components for Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits in Silicon

Creator:

Zheng, Lei

Abstract:

For mmWave Integrated Circuit (IC) design, co-integration of passives can reduce size and power consumption, increase reliability, and reduce overall cost. However, skin and proximity effects in the metallization are aggravated at mmWave frequencies, resulting in increased attenuation and degradation of overall performance. Furthermore, tight integration of passive components (to...
