Accurate passive component models in coplanar waveguide for 50 GHz MMICs

Accurate circuit models for several passive components in coplanar waveguide have been developed. These models utilize lumped and distributed circuit elements available in computer-aided design software packages and have element values that are derived from measured S-parameter data, geometrical data and physical process parameters. This work discusses the development of the models and verifies their accuracy by comparing measured and modeled S-parameters to 50 GHz.
