Abstract
High-Quality factor miniaturized inductors are prerequisites of RFIC Applications. This paper presents a novel fractal stacked inductors using modified Hilbert space filling curve. The parallel stacked inductor with differential excitation improves the Q factor values. The results show more than 50% improvement in Q over conventional fractal inductors maintaining same inductance value with the same occupying area.
