Hi experts, I'm desing a test board by using emdedded capacitor which the thickness is only 14um , the whole board is four layer, while the emdedded capacitor layer in the center and two 0.8mm FR4 layer loate top and bottom repectively. The question is I want to measure the S parameters of the embedded capacitor, that is , the test ports locate in between the second and third metal latey. However, the actual test ports of SMA locate in the top metat layer. So,I need to introduce the signal from second layer to top layer. I have tried to use 4 via around test port, however maybe the embedded capcitor is very thin and the top FR4 layer is thicker relatively, the simulated result is poor. I wonder any experts could give some advice? Thanks a lot!
