Hi,
1. I'm now using the ASITIC to design a transformer, however, I found it's difficult to dump the transformer's S-Paramter (two port s parameter, the target transformer structure is just like the one indicated in the attached pix).
2. how to add ground to some of the inductor's terminals in ASITIC, as those shown in the attached pix: xfmr.jpg?
3. While designing a 1:1 transformer (1:1 here represents vout/vin=1:1), the secondary inductance Ls must be larger than 1/k² (k is the coupling coefficient) times of the primary inductance Lp, based on the ideal transformer equations: vin=Lp(di/dt), vout=M(di/dt)=k√(Lp*Ls)(di/dt). Therefore, assuming k=0.8, then for the 1:1 transformer, Ls≥1.56Lp; for 2:1 transformer, Ls≥6.25Lp!!! if Lp=3nH, Ls must be larger than 18nH!! Am I right here? I'm wondering if there's any published works realizing the transformers which output/input voltage ratio larger than 2:1, I mean vout≥2vin??
Thank you.
