The desegmentation method is used for probe deembedding in the bandwidth from 10 MHz up to 50 GHz. In contrast to the common approach which relies on T-matrices the desegmentation procedure ensures flexible fixture extraction using directly the S-parameter or Z-parameter matrices of the multiport network that has to be deembedded. The main advantage of the deembedding by desegmentation technique is that it does not require any S- to T-parameters conversion and if desired allows stepwise extraction of the embedded error networks. A typical application of the desegmentation method is presented by the authors where in the case of microprobe based measurement the error boxes of the microprobes are obtained at first by the use of a two-tier calibration technique and in the next step the desegmentation is applied to remove their detrimental effect on the measurement data.","PeriodicalId":293987,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 14th Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131450414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Split-ring resonator (SRR) has attracted attention as an implementation of metamaterial (left-handed material). However when simple SRR is implemented in LSIs, the resonance frequency becomes around 200GHz and it is too high to employ on on-chip circuits. We designed a stacked SRR to lower the resonant frequency in a 0.18μm CMOS. Measurement results show that the stacked SRRs can realize the resonance frequency below 50GHz. Also measurement results show a guideline of area effective implementation of on-chip SRR.","PeriodicalId":293987,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 14th Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":"16 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125784807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
