Abstract:
1. A method for analyzing a spiral resonator, comprising the steps of: modeling a set of loops of the spiral resonator with a model of a circuit including a set of units, wherein each unit includes a resistor and an inductor to model one loop of the spiral resonator; determining values of the resistor and the inductor of each unit based on properties of a corresponding loop; modeling electrical connection of the loops by electrically connecting the units in a corresponding order of the loops; modeling a capacitive coupling in the spiral resonator by connecting adjacent units with at least one capacitor having a value based on the capacitive coupling between two corresponding adjacent loops; modeling an inductive coupling in the spiral resonator based on inductive coupling between pairs of loops; and simulating an operation of the spiral resonator with the model of the circuit, wherein steps of the method are performed by a processor.
