Abstract
This article presents accurate measurement‐based models derived from measured S‐parameters of passive circuit elements which include inductors, thin‐film resistors, interdigital and MIM capacitors, via holes, and airbridges for use in the computer‐aided design of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). The thru‐reflect‐line (TRL) calibration method is employed to accurately measure the S‐parameters of the passive elements. Some of the models are scalable for different substrate thicknesses and substrate dielectric constant values as they are based on microstrip line theory. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
