Efficiently Design And Model MMICs With Passive Elements
Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) are often thought of as active devices, since they rely strongly on the capabilities of small-gate transistors and diodes. But passive elements are also an important part of these circuits, and computer simulations too often are limited in accuracy of their passive-component models, especially for arbitrarily shaped components for which no analytical models exist. In such cases, electromagnetic (EM) simulators commonly are used. What follows...
