Abstract :
An active inductor implementation suitable for microwave and millimeter wave applications is introduced. The circuit is very simple, compact and can be easily realized in a floating configuration. Simulations, based on Philips smart library ED0D2AH, show that the component can have a quality factor in excess of 100 at 22 GHz with a current consumption of 5.5 mA @ 2.5 V bias. A monolithic implementation in PHEMT technology is reported and discussed.
