The switches are first characterized using a full wave analysis based on finite element method aiming to extract the S-parameters of the switches for different geometrical dimensions. From the S-parameter data base, a scalable lumped circuit model is extracted to allow easy implementation of the switch model into available microwave CAD software. The simulated results are compared with published measured data as validation of our model.","PeriodicalId":149404,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest (Cat.

The main advantage of this method is that a unique and physical-meaningful set of intrinsic parameters is extracted from the measured S-parameters for the whole frequency range of operation. The extraction procedure uses a set of closed form expressions derived without any approximation. In this sense, the extraction method is more accurate and robust in comparison with those employing special test structures or global numerical optimization techniques. Experimental validation on a HBT device with a 2/spl times/25 /spl mu/m emitter was carried out, and excellent results were obtained up to 30 GHz. The calculated data-fitting residual error over 1-30 GHz was less then 2%.","PeriodicalId":149404,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest (Cat.
