Hi I am using both FastHenry and FastCap in order to extract the RLC matrices for a SoC Bus (i want to observe the crosstalk phenomenon). I think that it is a bus crossing peroblem (acording to FastCap's manual) But i have some problems while using FastCap. Do i have to describe the bus lines with a simple Ground Plane or i have to describe the crossing lines underneath the bus ? (the layer which is vertical to the signal lines-coplanar structure). If so then should i define the vertical layer as one seperate group in order to take a (n+1)x(n+1) capacitance matrix ? (n=number of bus lines) How should i define the dielectric between these lines ? Should i just define the dielectric constant in the list file (is it so simple?) I have made a lot of experiments with FastCap and Hspice (W model Field Solver) in order to compare the results but the differences between them are very large ! If i finally take the RLC matrixes then which model should i use in HSpice for simulation ? (W model?) Can i do the simulation for such coplanar structures in HSpice without using the Field Solvers ?(i mean will the results be accurate ?) Can you please send me an example if possible for my case in order to compare the results? I have seen the mail from Abe Riazi "Re: Couplin capacitance" but it is for microstrips Sorry for the large number of my questions but i am a litlle bit confused.
