Impedance Concept
Zpi, Zpv & Zvi
Microstrips use Zpi impedance
2P 1
Zpi = *
;P = ExHds; I = Hdl
II 2
Slot-type (CPW)
*
use Zpv impedance
VV
Zpv =
2P
TEM waves use Zvi impedance
Zvi = Zpi
Zpv
Projects with HFSS
Microstrip Line to Waveguide Transition
EM Field of the transition
Waveguide Combiner System
Slotline Antenna
Bonding Wire Discontinuity
Packaging for CPW Lines
Field Plot
