[SI-LIST] Re: off-diagonal resistance and conductance elements

Tony:
My understanding also is that L11 is the self inductance.  So I  ran
the XFX field solver to validate my thoughts, a single conductor and =
dual conductor microstrip with=20
10mils spacing microstrip and compare L11.  Here are the reports

In both cases, there seem to be only small difference  between the self =
inductance=20
of single line and L11 in the coupled line matrice. =20

For the purposes of clarification:-

Patrick initially stated "The on-diagonal parameters (e.g., L11) are
typically stated to be the self parasitics, ..."

My understanding is that, rather than being purely "self parasitics", =
they
actually include the effects of coupled neighbors. As a consequence, for
example, L11 will actually be different (lower) than it will be if the =
same
primary structure existed without any coupled neighbors.

Is that correct?

Thanks,
Tony Dunbar

Subject: [SI-LIST] off-diagonal resistance and conductance elements




In a coupled-pair of distributed transmission lines (whether =
intentionally
for differential or unintentionally with crosstalk), most (good)
EM simulators produce a 2x2 matrix of capacitance, inductance,
resistance, and conductance (C, L, R, & G).  The on-diagonal
parameters (e.g., L11) are typically stated to be the self
parasitics, which is quite easy to understand.

For the inductance and capacitance matrices, even the off-diagonal
parastics (e.g., L12, C21, ...) are easy to understand and
well published.

However, I have not been able to find a good description nor
treatment on the off-diagonal resistance and conductance
elements.  Can anyone enlighten me a bit? =20

For example, what does R12 respresent?  With the lossless/ideal
case setting R12=3D0, it cannot represent a resistive element
directly between the two traces.  So what is it?


A second yet possibly related question deals with how these
matrices deal with odd- and even-mode using the same matrices.
When looking at any of the common twin-axial cables used
today with Infiniband and other differential protocols, the
two signal conductors are made with "good" (meaning low
loss) materials.  In contrast, the outer shield is often
a much lousier (higher loss) material (either through the metallurgy
or thickness).

For odd-mode signals propagating down one of these twin-ax
cables, we believe the return current for one wire is
effectively captured (at least in part) in the other complement
wire, which would result in reasonably low loss.  In contrast,=20
in even-mode propagation, the return current is within the=20
outer shield, which in turn results in a higher loss than
the odd-mode propagation.  The end result (we have plenty
of measurement data confirming this) is that odd-mode
signals propagate reasonably well, but even-mode signals
attenuate and disperse much more significantly.  (note:
for many applications, this is a very good thing.)

The question is: how can the LRCG matrices be set up such that you=20
use one set of matrices (in the form of a W-element if you wish) that
can accurately represent both cases?  Does the off-diagonal
R & G matrices play a role?

Thanks,
Pat
