----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract:
Integrated RF/Microwave passive components, either in silicon based System on Chip (SoC)
or in ceramic/organic substrate based System in Package (SiP), are the key building blocks for
constructing a single-chip monolithic functional system. A great deal of attention has been paid to
the modeling techniques of various of integrated RF/microwave passives. Characterizing such
devices is always a major concern to circuit designers. With the increase of the operating
frequency, the inevitable parasitic effects together with the significant loss properties of both the
substrate and the conductors make the characterization tasks even more challenging. Although a
lot of efforts have been devoted to model extraction of the integrated passives, none of them can
provide a systematic approach to derive a physically meaningful equivalent circuit model.
The derived physically expressive circuit (DPEC) model is a new approach for model order
deduction (MOR) and systematical derivation of a physically meaningful circuit model of a
multilayered embedded RF passive. The approach is based on the partial-element
equivalent-circuit (PEEC) model and the Y-Δ circuit transformation. By defining an appropriate
cutoff criterion that is related to the highest frequency of interest, most of the internal nodes in the
mesh related circuit generated by the PEEC model will be absorbed progressively. The approach is
very simple to implement and has apparent physical meaning.
In this talk, the basic concept of the derived physically expressive circuit (DPEC) model will
be introduced. Its implementation and the use to lossy integrated passive circuits will be
discussed in detail. The guideline of how to ensure the passivity condition of the DPEC model will
be also given. The case studies of Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC) circuits and vertical
spiral inductors build in a silicon substrate will be given to show the validation and effectiveness.
Finally, the latest progress of the DPEC for multilayered circuits with slotted ground will be
briefly covered.
Biography:
Ke-Li Wu received his B.S and M.Eng degree from Nanjing University of Science and
Technology (China) in 1982 and 1985, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree from Laval University,
Canada, in 1989.
From 1989 to 1993, he was with the Communications Research Laboratory, McMaster
University as a Research Engineer. He joined the Corporate R&D Division, Com Dev
International, Canada in March 1993, where he had been Principal Member of Technical Staff in
charge of developing advanced electromagnetic design software for various microwave
sub-system for communication satellite. Dr. Wu has been with the Dept. of Electronic Engineering,
The Chinese University of Hong Kong since October 1999, where he is a Professor. Prof. Wu is a
senior member of IEEE, member of IEEE MTT-8 committee, and a current Associate Editor of
IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques. He organized and co-organized a
number of workshops in MTT-S and Packaging society and is the guest editor in the recent
focused issue of Microwave Magazine on miniaturized microwave filters.
Prof. Wu has authored or coauthored more than 60 leading journal papers in the areas of EM
modeling, microwave passive circuits and antennas. His current research interests include
numerical and analytical methods in electromagnetics, passive microwave circuits, microwave
filters, small antennas for wireless terminals, LTCC-based multichip modules, and RF
identification (RFID) technologies.
