insertion loss s parameters
Hi, I have simulated gold plated wires embedded into polyimide material using CST Microwave Studio transient Solver to extract S-parameter (insertion loss) data.
One model is 0.5mm thick and the other is 0.25mm thick. Component geometry in both models is identical except for the thickness.
Interestingly enough, I am getting better S21 (insertion loss) data for the 0.5mm thick model than the 0.25mm thick model @ 20GHz.
I was expecting lower insertion loss for the 0.25mm thick model and higher insertion loss for the 0.5mm thick model (based on wire length).
I would really appreciate if someone could shed some light on the S-parameter insertion loss results.
Cheers,
