ADS Via Configuration
Hello guys. I need some help with the via configuration dialog box in ADS.
First of all, check my layer stackup out:-
FreeSpace (open boundary)
RO4350b
PrePreg
FR4
Air (open boundary)
And here is some detail of the metallization:-
FreeSpace
-------- -STRIP-RouteLayer1
RO4350b |VIA| diel2
-------- -SLOT-cond2
PrePreg |VIA| diel
-------- -SLOT-cond3
FR4 |VIA| diel3
-------- -STRIP-RouteLayer2
Air
Please see if I'm going at it the right way. The board is a 4 layer board with RouteLayer1 and RouteLayer2 as RF and control signal routing layers respectively. Whereas, cond2 and cond3 are GND and Power planes.
Now, I want to be able to connect vias from RouteLayer1 and RouteLayer2 to all metallization layers. I'm getting stuck at the Via Configuration dialog box (Options>Via Configuration...).
I cant seem to be able to add any via to the list. Please help me out here.
Also, as a corollary, I need a solution to connect a STRIP and a SLOT layer.
Thanks and regards.
