Conclusion<br />
◗ Electrically modeling interconnects <strong>for</strong> <strong>RFIC</strong>s is very important to<br />
the first time success <strong>of</strong> the design.<br />
◗ Ans<strong>of</strong>t’s suite <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware provides all <strong>of</strong> the necessary electrical<br />
simulation engines to per<strong>for</strong>m accurate simulations <strong>of</strong> the <strong>RFIC</strong>.<br />
◗ Spiral Inductor – HFSS, Designer<br />
◗ <strong>Interconnects</strong> - Spicelink<br />
◗ QFN Package – HFSS, Spicelink<br />
◗ Circuit/System <strong>Analysis</strong> - Designer<br />
◗ An electrical model was made <strong>for</strong> every part <strong>of</strong> the differential<br />
VCO core including the interconnects.<br />
◗ Using the extracted models, in depth analysis <strong>of</strong> the <strong>RFIC</strong><br />
system within Designer provides results that are used to obtain<br />
phase noise plots.<br />
◗ Optimizing the phase noise provides the engineer a way to<br />
improve the design <strong>and</strong> improve pr<strong>of</strong>itability.
