Modeling of Parasitic Effects in Discrete Passive Components

This program was performed to improve the capabilities for modeling of passive components in computer-aided analysis of electronic circuits at frequencies up to 1 GHz. Techniques were developed to generate models that predict the parasitic behavior of discrete passive components. Both manufacturers and measured data were used on this program. The data available from manufacturers were surveyed and classified. This data is generally limited to frequencies less than 100 MHz it was used to develop appropriate modeling techniques for these frequencies. In addition, measurement techniques were identified for obtaining the necessary data and modeling techniques were developed for frequencies up to 1 GHz.
