Nice to hear reply from you ! Actually, what I am wondering is that the "wave port" 's size is somewhat hard to match two important criterion in the same time: 1. The port need to be large enough to reduce edge-effect.( >3(2g+w) recommended) 2. port's left & right edges need to contact the two side- grounds to let them be connected together, to form the "lateral ground". However, it is tough to meet above two requirements sometimes. For instance, since the lateral metal trace have limited width, it is very possible that the port had to be so wide (that all three metal traces are included in the port) to meet requirement 1. Then, the edge of port will bot contact lateral grounds. These two side-grounds are seperated eletrically. How to resolve this issue? Thanks!

If you stilll have questions, pls get back to me and we can discuss. I have not tried the lumped gap source (I use only wave ports), but if u have some interesting comparison, it would be nice to have a look at.Regards Arun Chandrasekhar PhD Student: RF Packaging IMEC | MCP/MaRS Group Phone: +32 16 28 82 28 Fax: +32 16 28 10 97 Email: achandra@xxxxxxx IMEC, Kapeldreef 75, 3001 Leuven, Belgium | Phone:+32 16 28 12 11 Fax:+32 16 22 94 00 | Website:www.imec.be This email and/or its attachments may contain confidential information.

Currently, I want to research some problem related to On-Si-chip CPW(coplanar wave guide) problem. But have some difficulty in port setup in HFSS and some other things. My issue is that how to define those two side grounds of CPW ? Since they(side grounds) are seperated by the signal line and will not have opportunity to contact each other, how to define they two to be grounds in the same time? Do you have some example project to help me? Thanks! B.H. Bi,Hai SJTU, Emlab --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
