Passive Elements Modeling in Microwave/Millimeter-wave application

Wang Y., Yao J., Luo J., Tang Y., Tsinghua University, CN

Passive elements (e.g., transmission line, transformer and balun) are widely used in Microwave/ Millimeter-wave (MMW) applications. Compared with time-consuming Electromagnetic (EM) simulation, equivalent-circuit compact models for these passive elements are more preferable for IC designers. [...]

Compact Modeling of Signal Transients for Dispersionless Interconnects With Resistive, Capacitive and Inductive Terminal Loads

Liu Chi, Zhou Z., Lin X., Xia J., Zhang X., He J., Peking University, CN

In this paper, compact models for transient response of dispersionless interconnects are rigorously derived with resistive, inductive and capacitive terminal loads. The proposed compact models are verified by the HSPICE simulation with high accuracy and [...]

Dynamic Compact Thermal Model of an Electrothermal Micromirror Based on Transmission Line Theory

Pal S., Xie H., University of Florida, US

The two main challenges in electrothermal MEMS design are their slow response and inherently low efficiency. Therefore, thermal modeling is essential for design and optimization. A compact parametric model is desirable as it computationally efficient [...]

Relaxation-based Circuit Simulation for Large-scale Circuits with Lossy Transmission Lines

Chen C-J., Chinese Culture University, TW

This paper integrates a time-domain transmission line calculation method and relaxation-based circuit dimulation algoright, and investigates the transient response simulation of large-scale circuits with transmission lines. Experimental results have been provided to justify the performance [...]
