| coupled microstrip lines - RF Cafe Forums | ||||||
|
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts. greggd Post subject: coupled microstrip lines Unread postPosted: Mon May 24, 2004 2:09 pm Offline Lieutenant Joined: Mon May 24, 2004 1:56 pm Posts: 1 Location: Moorestown, NJ Does anyone have any tricks for optimizing coupled microstrip lines for differential mode (Zodd=50ohms, Zeven=100ohms)? I find that the closed form models in ADS and AWR do not match what is produced in Sonnet or Momentum. Thanks for any help, -Gregg Top Profile Guest Post subject: Unread postPosted: Tue May 25, 2004 9:03 am Sonnet and Momentum are "2.5D" simulators, the conductors must be zero thickness. Are you accounting for this? Momentum lets you define conductor thickness only for signal attenuation calculations not for geometric impact on electrical performance. Finite conductor thickness will have an effect on the odd mode impedance. To my understanding, the "closed form" solver in LineCalc of ADS is a curve match to emperical and 3D simulated data for coupled lines. I have found it to be accurate enough for most edge coupled filters, as well as much faster than a MOM solver.

I came to 98% agreement with hand-calculation on 200ohm diff TL. The vector analyzer measure single ended parameters, then it converts to diff. Do you want the formula for conversion?
