Hey,
I need some help with simulating a coupled microstrip transmission line on Sonnet. The two transmission lines however have different dimensions. One of them has a dimension of 22.5 microns x 90 microns and the other has a dimension of 3 microns x 40 microns. This design is to be used as a transformer for a millimetere wave circuit. I need to calculate the coupling factor of this design for various spacings between the transmission lines. Could someone tell me how to extract the self inductance and mutual inductance of this transformer using Sonnet?
I am confused because Sonnet offers three Inductance parameters: Inductance 1 is the effective inductance of a series RL network and gives Y11,Y22,Y33 and Y44. Inductance 2 is the series inductance between any pair of ports assuming a pi model. Inductance 3 is the series inductance between ports 1 and 2 with the other ports open circuited. How do I use these parameters to obtain the self inductance and mutual inductance parameters?
Thank you
