In this article, a novel Q-factor enhancement technique for on-chip spiral inductors is presented. Symmetric return ground structure in traditional on-chip spiral inductors is modified and shifted toward the side with stronger magnetic field caused by asymmetrical windings of inductors. In full-wave...
