Modeling of CPW Based Passive Networks using Sonnet Simulations for High Efficiency Power Amplifier MMIC Design摘要
In this paper, the capabilities of the Sonnet software for accurate modeling and design of CPW based lumped-element resonators and matching networks is studied. A systematic method for design of complex matching networks using Sonnet is presented and good overall agreement between Sonnet simulations and measured s-parameter data from fabricated resonators and matching networks was obtained.
