VI. MEASUREMENT
The capacitance structures are fabricated in printed circuit
board (PCB),using PCB fabrication methods. The negative
film of the structure is used to used to transfer the pattern to
the PCB, the fabricated structured is measured using vector
network analyzer (VNA). The S parameters measured using
VNA is feed to the ADS momentum using option add files,
then the capacitance values are extracted using functions in
ADS.
