- Abstract
- The increasingly interconnected world requires systems that support high data
rates, and thus the development of mm-wave systems is necessary. Automotive
collision radar (80 GHz) or WLANs (60 GHz) are one of the applications that
led the increment of the demand in RFICs, in which monolithic devices are
fundamental, such as on-chip inductors or transformers. Along this thesis, the
design and modelling of single and differential inductors, as well as transformers, are
carried out following a bottom-to-top structure. Electromagnetic Momentum μW
ADS simulations characterize the inductors and transmission line-based lumped-
element equivalent models of the inductors and transformers are also defined. The
exploration of the design of... (More) - The increasingly interconnected world requires systems that support high data

exploration of the design of inductors in the custom-made technology available in
the Nanoelectronics Group Student Design Library of Lund University is the main
goal of the thesis. A close agreement between model and component is achieved,
just as the design of inductors and transformers that can work over the desired
band using the presented technology. (Less)
