abstract

  • High precision experimental and theoretical procedures are presented for obtaining very compact inductors (diameter 80 to 200 mu m) with values up to 5 nH and cut-off frequencies ranging from 20 to 100 GHz for L less than 2 nH. The maximum phase and amplitude measurement error is of the order to plus or minus 2 degrees and 1% respectively with typical measurement reproducibility of 0. 1%. A new lumped element theory is presented predicting the electrical characteristics of spiral inductors with a maximum error of only 5%.
