Different published approaches to simulate an inductor, by means of the 2D electromagnetic tool Momentum © , are revised in this article. A new layout configuration, including the measurement structure and postsimulation de‐embedding, is proposed. Simulated results are verified with inductors fabricated in a SiGe 0.35‐μm foundry process. Our proposed layout provides more reliable results than other configurations. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2008.
