Design and Test of Integrated Inductors for RF Applications is the result of several years of research in the field of Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit Design, specifically in the Inductor design for RF applications in conventional technologies. One of the key elements today in the wireless industry, especially in the silicon RF integrated circuits field, is the design of high-quality passive elements. The performance of several basic circuit blocks such as low noise amplifiers, mixers and voltage controlled oscillators depends on the quality of these elements. The work done establishes the design guidelines for the definition of the inductor's geometrical characteristics and new techniques to improve their quality. It also covers their measurement and characterisation. This fact is not always taken into account by the designers due to the lack of information in bibliography regarding to this topic.
