Abstract: The rapid advancement of CMOS technology in the last decade has made possible CMOS implementation of radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits. However, the limitation of the passive integrated inductors is still a huge limitation. Integrated inductors take significant chip area, have low inductance values and unsatisfactory quality factors (Q). As a solution, active inductors have been proposed. In this work, the de-embedding technique is applied in the design of an integrated active inductor in CMOS technology for RF systems, in order to analyze and eliminate all external influences to the designed element.
