Device modeling and measurement for RF systems

摘要

The trend to higher integration and higher s peed challenges modelling engineers to develop accurate device models up to tens of Gigahertz. An absolute prerequisite for achieving this goal are accurate RF measurements, and correct de-embedding techniques. without this, RF modelling can become quite time consuming, with a lot of guesswork and ad-hoc judgements. If, however, the underlying measurements are correct, and the models understood well, RF modelling can provide very accurate design kits.
