Q factor enhancement
 The power loss degrades Q
 Reducing Metal loss increases Q
– Bond wire
– Thick metal
– High conductivity metal (Cu)
 However, reducing metal loss only help in low
frequency ( ~ <2GHz)
– Skin effect
– Substrate loss dominates at high frequency

 The impedance looking into RLC resonator can be
derived as follows:
where
 Normalize the impedance response to its peak value:
 According to this equation, it can be obtained that
Q=w0/Dw , where Dw means the 3dB bandwidth. It
indicates that the higher Q is, the narrower
bandwidth the filter has.
