Abstract :
In this paper a comparison of the simulation of MMICs typical microstrip elements, such as transmission lines, open rectangular stubs and radial stubs, with commercial CAD circuit and electromagnetic simulators with on-wafer measurements up to 70GHz, will be presented. Conclusions about the simulators accuracy and corrected models for each element will be presented.
