Microstrip to CPW with Ground trace transistion in PCB.

[themaccabee]

Hi ,

I ve got a microstrip coming from a diode in the top layer of a 2 layer PCB & i need to change it to CPW with ground configuration to the bottom layer.
How to do this properly?
Thanks for any help,
Regards

(Frequency of operation is 30-512MHz,PCB material is RO4350B)

I have no experience on this, but I think you can use HFSS to simulate. using vias.

you can use Agilent ADS line calc

you can use Agilent ADS line calc

To design the transition from microstrip to CPW?

My mistake, I coukd not visualize problem, Momentum should do the job. Can you share picture detaling the transition?

Hi,
I haven't tried.

Take a look @ paper below.
