Abstract
A spiral resonator is analyzed by 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. Values of the resistor and the inductor of each unit are based on properties of a corresponding loop. Electrical connection of the loops is modeled by electrically connecting the units in a corresponding order of the loops. A capacitive coupling in the spiral resonator is modeled by connecting adjacent units with at least one capacitor having a value based on the capacitive coupling between two corresponding adjacent loops. An inductive coupling in the spiral resonator is modeled based on inductive coupling between pairs of loops. The operation of the spiral resonator is simulated with the model of the circuit.
