Abstract :
A novel de-embedding method using a full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulated pad model is proposed to de-embed the pad parasitics from the test structure at high frequencies. The conventional de-embedding methods using the “open-short” approach and “symmetrical-line” approach are prone to error at high frequencies, while the EM-simulated-pad de-embedding method presented here shows improved accuracy and good agreement with the EM simulations result up to 67 GHz.
