Title: | Design, modeling and characterization of on-chip transformer for silicon RFIC | Authors: | Lim, Chee Chong | Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Electrical and electronic engineering::Integrated circuits | Issue Date: | 2010 | Source: | Lim, C. C. (2010). Design, modeling and characterization of on-chip transformer for silicon RFIC. Doctoral thesis, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. | Abstract: | On-chip inductors play a crucial role in radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). For gigahertz circuitry, these components are usually realized using bond-wires or planar metal traces that route in the spiral or symmetrical configuration. In recent years, demand for multiple inductors in each RFIC application has driven the development of on-chip transformers. In fact, the physical isolation property of the transformers has already facilitated the integration of many large functional blocks (impedance matching, low-noise feedback, differential-to-single-ended conversion) into the silicon wafer. Furthermore, they permit a large range of inductances to be realized. However, these transformers possess a drawback of smaller quality-factor (Q) values with various loss mechanisms and are more difficult to model. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/21198 | DOI: | 10.32657/10356/21198 | Schools: | School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering | Research Centres: | Centre for Integrated Circuits and Systems | Fulltext Permission: | open | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
