TY - JOUR AU - Stadius, K. AB - Integrated high performance gallium arsenide and silicon active inductor configurations for microwave frequencies are examined in this article. The existing topologies are considered and a new aspect of comparing the performance of different topologies based on a more complete analysis is utilised. Drawbacks of GaAs technology in this particular case are recognised, while benefits attained by using bipolar technology are presented. A theoretical basis for designing bipolar inductors is examined. On the basis of these studies a new method for raising the Q-factor of an active inductor is found and applied to two novel GaAs Q-enhanced active inductors. New applications for active high-Q resonators are found and their realisation aspects are considered. Integrated test circuits have been designed, and the simulated and experimental results are presented.
