Abstract

This paper examined the simulation results after applying not only spiral inductor's 3D EM simulation but also de-embedding technique to reduce the pad's RF effects. When calculating standard deviation with measurement results not only the gain at 0.5GHz${\sim}$4GHz but also noise figure at 1.8GHz${\sim}$4GHz, the simulation results includes de-embedded inductor' model improved gain deviation by 0.171 and noise figure deviation by 0.151 than the results from simulation with foundry inductor equivalent circuit models.
