Abstract :
A physics-based compact model for on-chip transmission lines, spiral inductors and transformers is presented. This SPICE-compatible model can be distributed to extend its range of validity. It includes all important sources of substrate loss and a simplified capacitance model that speeds parameter extraction. Model accuracy is benchmarked with both experimental measurements and numerical simulations
