ic_microstrip_syn - Integrated circuit microstrip transmission line synthesis

SYNOPSIS

ic_microstrip_syn z0 w h l tmet rho rough er tand f flag

PARAMETERS

INPUT PARAMETERS

  • z0 : desired characteristic impedance (Ohms)
  • w : width of ic_microstrip line (meters)
  • h : substrate thickness (meters)
  • l : lentgh of ic_microstrip line (meters)
  • tmet : metal thickness (meters)
  • rho : resistivity of wire (relative to copper)
  • rough : conductor surface roughness (meters-rms)
  • er : substrate relative permitivitty
  • tand : substrate loss tangent
  • f : synthesis frequency (Hz)
  • flag : indicates which parameters should be optimized
    • flag=1 : synthesize the metal width
    • flag=1 : synthesize the substrate thickness
    • flag=2 : synthesize the oxide thickness

OUTPUT VALUES

  • w_out : calculated metal width
  • h_out : calculated substrate thickness
  • tox_out : calculated oxide thickness
  • l_out : calculated metal length

DESCRIPTION

Function to synthesize the physical dimenstions of a single ic_microstrip transmission line to achieve a desired characteristic impedance and electrical length. The desired characteristic impedance and some of the physical dimensions of the ic_microstrip line are given as inputs and the remaining dimensions are calculated. The model accounts for dispersion (frequency dependent propagation velocity).
