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.
