Abstract

In this paper, embedded spiral inductors are investigated into the PCB substrate for low cost RF SOP applications. The spiral inductors designed with geometrical variations were simulated, fabricated, measured, and characterized by using 3D EM simulator, 8 layered PCB standard process and HP 8510B network analyzer (or verifying their applicability. The fabricated embedded spiral inductor has inductance of 9.4 nH at 800MHz, maximum quality factor of 64.8 at 1.09GHz and self resonant frequency of 3.93GHz, respectively. As the measured inductances and quality factors are well matched with simulated ones. PCB embedded spiral inductors are promising for advanced electronic systems with various functionality, low cost, small size and volume.
