Modeling of Microstrip Lines with Vias

Application ID: 74951


There are multiple ways to excite and terminate transmission lines using different types of port and lumped port features. In this example, transverse electromagnetic (TEM) type ports and a via type lumped port are used to simulate two adjacent microstrip lines. One via end is terminated as a metalized via while the other via end is probing an inflow signal. The computed S-parameters show the amount of crosstalk between the lines and the strength of the signal coupled through the cylindrical via.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
