Abstract :
Embedded transmission lines are commonly used in silicon radio frequency integrated circuits to reduce insertion loss and decrease circuit size. In this paper, experimental measurements and finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis are used to show that embedded inverted microstrip lines are not suitable for use above a few GHz
