Hi all, i found some discrepancies when simulating a CPW in ADS momentum compared to when co-simulating in ADS the same layout. Wonders if someone can help clarify things. It's a bit involved so I thank you so very much for your patience.

Situation:

We are simulating a coplanar waveguide (CPW)using momentum and
co-simulation. A CPW calculator
**broken link removed** gives the dimensions
for a 50 Ohm CPW to be:

ground plane to signal track spacing=0.12mm
track width=1 mm
for
dielectric constant=4.5
and track height of=1 mm

I've created a layout in momentum that incorporates these dimensions in the
attached project file.

Problem:
Using momentum (pic: CPW50) and using ground
reference ports (P3,4,5,6) and internal ports (P1,2, i need to use internal ports since a similar design will be incorporated into a more complex system where
components will be attached to the ports),

we got a flat, broadband S21 (pic:Mom_flat_S21). and if we keep this config for co-sims, we get a flat S21 and good eye diagram.

But when the GND reference ports are removed and substituted with internal
ports (all P1-P6 are internal ports)

and a co-simulation is done, (pic:coSIM_S21),
a non flat S21 is obtained, (pic:coSIM_S21_non_flat)

when an eye diagram simulation is done, (Pic:coSIM_eye), a closed
eye is obtained even though the impedances are matched,
(pic:coSIM_eye_result)

Request:
Can you please advice:

1. How to get a flat S21 in co-simulation mode like in the momentum only
mode using all internal ports?

2. Get an opened eye diagram in co-simulation with all the impedances
matched at 50 Ohm when all ports are internal ports?

Or is it not possible?

Thanks for your time and looking forward for your response
