This paper presents a compact frequency-independent equivalent-circuit model for mmW characteristics of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) optical modulator, taking the skin effect, and substrate effect into consideration. Equivalent-circuit model with only ideal lumped elements represents the broadband electrical response of LiNbO3 modulator. A 4-long ladder model is used to model the skin effect. Coupling capacitor is used to simulate the substrate coupling from the CPW to the buffer and LiNbO3 substrate. Lumped-element circuit model was cascaded to model the distributive skin effect, transmission attenuation, and substrate effect. The equivalent-circuit models are fully SPICE compatible and can be incorporated directly into common circuit simulators and microwave design tools.
