Abstract :
A scalable lumped element model for meander-line resistors fabricated with the top-level metal of a silicon process that are suitable for radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) applications is presented. An optimization program is employed to extract the parameters of a physical equivalent circuit model. The simulated S-parameter data from the equivalent model shows very good agreement with the measured data
