摘要
An investigation of coupling between inductors and resonators fabricated in silicon substrates is presented and the effects on RF systems and components are discussed. A novel experimental technique to measure inductor and resonator coupling is presented. The experiment is extremely sensitive, fast, accurate, and unique in that no matching, probe de-embedding, or calibration is necessary as the ratio of two on-chip signals is measured to yield the results.
