Hello all: Can you give me some knowledge of via model? Now I'm using Hyperlynx. Via model in hyperlynx is a short transmission line with two caps to GND on each side . The influnece of stub is exhibited in value of caps, the longer the stub is , the lager the caps will be. I simulate the S21 of such via model(Spice description below) ,I find there will be a fluctuation in S21(-2dB in ~7GHz, -0.2dB at 14Ghz). I think it's unreasonable, what is your opinion? What's the wrong of this model? I'd like you can talk something about how to establish via model and how to check if this model is reasonable. Thank you very mush!
