Hello everyone,
In Yue's journal in 1998 "on-chip spiral inductors with patterned ground shields for Si-based RFIC's".
The definition of the quality factor is:
Q=2*pi* (energy stored)/ (energy loss in one oscillation cycle).
My question is, what is the purpose to add a scalar 2*Pi here ? Does it have any physical meaning ?
Thank you.
