Simulation of embedded RF circuits using macromodels and synthesized equivalent circuits

Abstract

This paper presents a method for developing electrical models for embedded RF components. Two methods have been presented using macromodeling and equivalent circuit synthesis. Scalable models for embedded RF components can be developed using this approach and integrated into a design library such as Advanced Design System (ADS). An RF circuit has been simulated using these two methods to show their accuracy. This approach is useful for new processing technologies where no empirical models are available.
