Summary:
This thesis concerns the analysis and research of high frequency coplanar induction circuits, The modern development of technology continuously increases the demand for high frequency circuits, due to their wide use in necessary applications. The precise operation of radars, Rfid and satellite communications systems are just a few examples of the necessity of developing such sophisticated circuits, capable of increasing the performance and speed of all the above applications. Initially, a preliminary theoretical background will be established, which is considered as a necessary step, before we proceed with various types of simulations, with the aim of operating at a frequency of 30 GHz. The theoretical background is based on the analysis of basic concepts of magnetism, materials and induction phenomena. This is followed by the analysis of the necessary design elements and test simulations. The design and simulation of coils that will exhibit inductive behavior at a frequency of 30GHz will be done with the Advanced Design System (ADS) platform. Finally, the results obtained from the simulations chapter are discussed, with the thesis concluding with a short list of future steps that are likely to further develop the research that has been developed so far.
