Need USEFUL, PRACTICAL, and FEASIBLE procedures to design, simulate, and layout "REAL RF Transformers" using Spectre RF

StillLearning

I am in need of "Useful," "Practical," and "Feasible" procedures on how to design, simulate, and layout RF Transformers using Spectre RF.

I have not seen the real-world item in the "model library" of two of the major foundaries (I cannot name them due to the NDA I have signed). Therefore, I would like someone in this forum to provide me with the above information either himself/herself, or direct me to a resource that includes "ALL" of the above pieces of information.

Unfortunately, I have not yet found a resource that meets the criteria mentioned in the Subject line above. They are mostly impractical and useless.

I look forward to hearing from someone who could address my issue.

  • Michele,

    Thank you for your attention and the link. I had a cursory review of this document (a thesis, it appears), and, unfortunately, it does not have the information I am looking for, as, like most other academic publications, it is useless at best. You know that most of the knowledge generated in academic world only suits the academic world, and never finds its way to the industry.

    I am looking for step-by-step, practical, and repeatable instructions from A to Z on how to design, layout, and simulate an integrated RF Transformer. Let me be clear: I need the procedure used in the “INDUSTRY.” I have read several academic publications and dissertations about this subject, and I can tell you that none of them was useful. I recently read a PhD dissertation on this subject from a reputable university in California, and it was waste of time.

    It is really frustrating that using an integrated RF transformer is not straight forward unlike other components such as inductors. I do not understand why the foundries do not have it in their libraries. Why do they make us jump through so many hoops?
