1 Chapter - 6 Analysis and Modeling of Coplanar Strip Line 6. Introduction Coplanar Strip-lines (CPS are used extensively in the MMIC and integrated optics applications. The CPS is a alanced transmission line and makes more efficient use of the wafer area than CPW. The CPS is used for the design of filters, antennas, mixers and opto-electronic devices. It has een adopted to the non-planar surfaces also. In this context, the elliptical coplanar strip lines (ECPS and cylindrical coplanar strip lines (CCPS have een examined. The quasi TEM parameters for ECPS and CCPS have een analyzed and analytical expressions for the losses of the planar symmetrical CPS are reported [48, 93-94, 7, 43, 54]. The losses and dispersion of these non-planar CPS are not reported. The full wave methods like SDA [0], variational method [53] and mode matching [34] have een used to otain the frequency dependent characteristic impedance and effective relative permittivity of the CPS line. In this chapter, we present the modeling of conductor thickness and frequency dependent line parameters, dispersion and losses, of different configurations of CPS. All developed models are verified against availale experimental results and the results otained using the EM- simulators over wide range of parameters. The effect of strip asymmetry on the characteristics of CPS is also analyzed. All the developed models are further extended to the multilayered planar and non-planar (elliptical and circular cylindrical CPS. Finally a circuit model, applicale to these structures, is also presented. It accounts for the effect of finite strip conductivity on the propagation constant and also on the characteristic impedance at lower range of microwave frequency. 69
2 6. Effect of Conductor Thickness on Characteristics of CPS The symmetrical coplanar strip (CPS line, shown in Fig.(6., consists of two finite widths w metallic strips separated y a slot-gap of width s, sustrate thickness h and conductor thickness t with relative permittivity ε r. The conductor thickness independent static expressions to compute the effective relative permittivity ε eff and the characteristic impedance Z 0 of the CPS with finite sustrate thickness are otained, using the conformal mapping method, y Ghione and Naldi [45]. The expressions are summarized elow: Fig.(6.: Cross section of planar CPS on finite thickness sustrate. ( ε ' r K( k0 K( k6 ε eff = (6. ' K( k K( k6 0 0π K( k Z 0 0 = (6. ε ' eff K( k0 where, modulus k 0 and k ' 6 along with their complementary modulus k 0 and ' k 6 are defined in equation-(3. and equation-(3.69 respectively. On modifying these expressions empirically to take into account the finite strip conductor thickness t [73], the equivalent slot-width s eq is reduced and the equivalent strip-width w eq is enlarged. s eq = s w ( i w eq = w w ( ii t w = πε r 8π s ln t ( iii (6.3 70

[9] is used to include the finite conductivity and finite conductor thickness in propagation characteristics. Like CPW, we have incorporated skin-depth dependent factor (S with 7
4 static effective relative permittivity as well. This factor will account for the dispersion at low frequency due to the field penetration in the finite conductivity strip conductors Effective Relative Permittivity The dispersion empirical expression for the CPS due to Frankel et. al. [9] is modified to include the conductor thickness up to mm-wave range, using the same methodology of formulation employed for CPW in Chapter-5. The modified closed-form expressions for CPS dispersion with skin-depth dependent factor (S and finite strip thickness is summarized elow: ε eff ( f,t, δ = S ε eff ( f = 0,t ' K( k K( k 0, δ 0,t where S = ' K( k K( k,t 0, δ 0 [ ε S ε ( f = 0,t ] r eff r m( f / fte ( a ( (6.8 where r.8. The cut-off frequency of the lowest order TE mode is given y equation- (5. and the parameter m is otained from equation-(5.. Fig.(6.a shows characteristics of ε eff in CPS on different sustrates with ε r =.5, 9.8,.9 and 37; s = 8 µm, w = 4 µm, h = 670 µm and t = 5 µm. The dispersion expression for the CPS indicates that the dispersion is very small up to hundred GHz for the structure on GaAs ( ε = 3. and Sapphire ( ε = 0. 5 sustrate having thickness 500 µm. When r r compared against the EM-simulators in the frequency range 0. GHz 00 GHz, the model has 3.6% average deviation for ε r = 37. At low frequency, 0. GHz, the results of CST are much higher than others for all the sustrates. The model does account for the dispersion due to the skin-effect after incorporating the factor S and shows small peak at the lowest end of the frequency. Overall, the model closely follows the results of CST. 7

The experimental results of Frankel et. al. [9] over frequency range 5 GHz -00 GHz for ε r = 0.5 are also shown in Fig.(6.a. Fig.(6. shows comparison of the phase constant β computed y the model and the EM-simulators against experimental results of Kiziloglu et. al. [74] over frequency range GHz-8 GHz. The CPS is taken on 670 µm thick GaAs ( ε r =.9 sustrate with t = 0.5 µm, 3 µm and 9 µm; w = 4.5 µm and s =7 µm. With an increase in conductor thickness, there is decrease in effective relative 73
6 permittivity which has resulted in susequent decrease in phase constant. The results of the present model follow the experimental results, as well as the results of Sonnet and HFSS faithfully. The % average and % maximum deviation in the results otained from the comparison against HFSS results are summarized in Tale-6.a. For. 5 ε r 37, 0.5 µm t 9 µm and 0. s / ( s w 0. 6, the closed-form model has % average and % maximum deviation of (.9%, 5.4%, (.5%, 6.5% and (4.7%, 7.% against HFSS, Sonnet and CST respectively, as shown in Fig.(6.c and Fig.(6.d Characteristic Impedance Some authors have used the voltage-power definition for CPS [0], whereas others have used the current-power definition [53]. The voltage-current definition for the characteristic impedance of a CPS line monotonically decreases with increasing frequency. However on using power-current definition, it shows initial decrease and then increase in characteristic impedance with increasing frequency. The dispersion in the characteristic impedance of the CPS could e estimated from the following voltagecurrent definition ased expression: Z 0 ( f,t = 0π S ε ( f,t eff ( a where S K( k = K( k ' 0, δ δ 0, K( k K( k 0,t ' 0,t ( (6.9 The aove expression accounts for the low frequency dispersion in characteristic impedance due to field penetration. It causes increase in characteristic impedance at low frequency due to increase in the internal inductance. Fig.(6.3a shows the dispersion in Z 0 of CPS on different sustrates with ε r =.5, 9.8,.9 and 37; s = 8 µm, w = 4 µm, h = 670 µm and t = 5 µm in the frequency range 0.GHz 00 GHz. 74

The closed-form model is within 3.4% average deviation against the results otained from EM-simulators till 70 GHz and eyond that the results of the model deviate from that of simulators with 5.4% average deviation. It is due to different definitions of the characteristic impedance adapted in the model and in the EM-simulators. Fig. (6.3 shows the results on characteristic impedances of the planar CPS for conductor thicknesses: t = 0.5 µm, 3 µm and 9 µm against experimental results of Kiziloglu et. al. [74]. The characteristic impedance decreases with increase in conductor thickness. There 75
8 are large deviations in the results of the model at the lower end of the frequency w.r.t. the experimental and EM-simulated results. This could e improved y the circuit model presented in section-6.8. The average and maximum % deviation of the present model and Sonnet are summarized in Tale-6.. For. 5 ε r 37, 0.5 µm t 9 µm and ( s w s /., the closed-form model has % average and % maximum deviation of (3.%, 6.6%, (3.%, 5.8% and (.%, 5.3% against HFSS, Sonnet and CST respectively, as shown in Fig.(6.3c and Fig.(6.3d. The CPS line provides much higher value of Z 0 as compared to the CPW and with increase in aspect ratio (s/(sw, Z 0 of the CPS increases while that of the CPW decreases.

9 In summary we can say that changes due to conductor thickness in the characteristic impedance, especially in the higher frequency range are more significant as compared to the changes in the effective relative permittivity. Thus for the variation in the normalized strip thickness from t/h = 0 to 0., ε eff is changed y 6%, whereas the Z 0 is changed y 9% and % at h/λ = 0.0 and h/λ = 0. respectively. The effect is more significant for the small strip-slot ratio CPS on the low permittivity sustrate. 6.4 Computation of Losses in CPS In this section, we present the improved closed-form models for computation of the dielectric loss and the conductor loss of the CPS, suitale for the microwave CAD purpose Dielectric Loss The following standard expression is used to compute the dielectric loss of the CPS structures [46]: α ε f t r ε eff (, tanδ = 7.9 db unit length (6.0 ε eff ( f, t ε r λ 0 d / where, λ 0, tan δ and ε r are free-space wavelength, loss tangent and relative permittivity of the sustrate respectively. The frequency and conductor thickness dependent ε ( f, t of CPS is computed using equation-(6.8. Fig.(6.4 compares the computation of eff α d y the closed-form model 77

It is oserved that for the same loss tangent and the same CPS structure, the dielectric loss increases with increase in the relative permittivity of the sustrate. Again it is due to more field confinement in the dielectric region for the high permittivity sustrate Conductor Loss The conductor loss of the CPS is computed using two closed-form models: (i Wheeler s incremental inductance formulation (ii Improved Holloway and Kuester model (IHK The models are compared and validated against the results from experimental data and EM-simulators for wide range of data. 78
11 Wheeler s Incremental Inductance Formulation We have extended Wheeler s incremental inductance formulation [3] to CPS for conductor loss computation. Therefore, the conductor loss of a CPS is computed from the following expression: π Z( ε r =,w,s,h, f,t, δ s α c = ε eff ( ε r, w, s,h, f,t Np/m (6. λ0 Z 0( weq,seq,h, f,t, ε r = where, λ 0 is free space wavelength. The expressions for the ε and ( w,s,h, f,t parameters (,w,s,h, f,t eff ε r (6.8 and equation-(6.9 respectively. Z0 eq eq, ε r = are otained from equation- (a Decrease in slot-width due to finite conductor thickness ( Increase in slot-width due to field penetration Fig.(6.5: Application of Wheeler s inductance rule to compute conductor loss in CPS. Fig.(6.5a shows that the slot-width of CPS is reduced due to the finite conductor thickness. The change in width due to strip conductor thickness is calculated y using equation-(6.3. Fig. (6.5 shows the skin-depth increases the slot-width y δ s due to the field penetration all around the strip conductor. We note that due to the field penetration in the conductor y δ s all around, the strip width has decreased y δ s and the slot width has increased y δ s. Likewise, the sustrate height also increases yδ s. We further note 79
12 that due to the skin-depth, the conductor thickness is also decreased yδ s. Thus the field penetration modifies equation (6.3 as follows, t' 8π s w' = ln πε t' r (a where, t' = t δ s ( (6.

Improved Holloway and Kuester model The second closed-form model, for computation of conductor loss of the CPS, is ased on the standard perturation method [38],[05] along with the concept of the stopping distance [], [5]. Fig.(6.6: Infinitely thin CPS conductors with stopping distance (. 80

The surface resistance R sm of the strip conductor of finite thickness t is computed from equation-(5.8. In CPS, the current density (J over the strip conductors is defined y the following function [7] ( ' (,, ( s w k K I A where a x s w s x A J = = (6.5 The ratio of current density (J to the longitudinal current (I is integrated along whole of the strip as follows = dl I J dl I J s w s (6.6 The stopping distance is computed using equations-(5.4-(5.5, for the rectangular and trapezoidal strip cross-sections [4]. The final expression for the conductor loss of the CPS structure is ( ( ( = α s w w s w ln s w s w w s ln s s ( w ' ( k K,t f ( wz s w R sm c (6.7

[74]. Fig.(6.7 shows the comparison of the total loss computed y the closed-form model # (= Wheeler α d, closed-form model # (= IHK α d, two EM-simulators - Sonnet and HFSS against the experimental results [74]. The loss has een computed for strip conductor thickness t = 0.5 µm 9 µm. The CPS is on the sustrate with ε r =.9, h = 670 µm, w = 4.5 µm, s = 7 µm. The loss is computed over the frequency range GHz - 60 GHz. The experimental results are availale up to 8 GHz only. The closed-form model # eing ased on Wheeler s incremental inductance model, is only applicale for the conductor thickness, t. δ. The closed-form model # comfortaly computes for s oth thick ( t. δ s and thin ( t <. δ s strip conductors. The computed conductor loss, using Wheeler s model, is less for thicker conductor.

17 Fig.(6.9: Multilayered CPS structure. The conformal mapping technique proposed y Ghione et.al.[45] to analyze CPS has poor accuracy for large inter-strip spacing and sustrate thickness, which are often used in modern microwave circuits. The new corrected transformations are suggested y Gevorgian et.al. [] for analysis of multilayer sustrate CPS, whose results are consistent with experiments and numerical simulations as well. The method employed is generalized enough to handle any numer of lower or upper layers efficiently, ut for the sake of convenience, we discuss and present results for three-layer CPS shown in Fig.(6.9. For multilayer CPS, ε eff and Z 0 are given y: ε eff ε r ε r = K( k0 K( k' ε r K( k0 K( k' ε r3 K( k0 K( k3' K( k0' K( k K( k0' K( k K( k0' K( k3 0π K( k0 Z 0 = ( (6.9 ε eff K( k0' (a where modulus k i (i=,,3 and k 0 along with their complements can e computed using equation-(3.0 and (3. respectively. The sustrate thickness h in equation (3.0 will e replaced y h i (i=,,3 accordingly. Then we have extended the conductor thickness and frequency ased closed-form models for ε eff ( f, t, Z 0 ( f,t, αc and α d of single-layered CPS to multilayer CPS y first converting multilayer into single-layer of finite dielectric thickness using SLR: 85

The % average and % maximum deviation in IHK and Wheeler are (4.4%, 6.8% and (7.8%, 6.% respectively against HFSS and Sonnet. It is oserved from Fig.(6.0c, that the conductor loss decreases with increasing ε r, which is explained y the fact that the field is pulled out from the lossy sustrate into the high permittivity layer, where the losses are smaller []. The computed α d y the model is in close agreement with HFSS and MoM ased LINPAR, for frequency range GHz 60 GHz, with % average and % maximum deviation of.8% and.5% respectively, as shown in Fig.(6.0d. 6.6 Effect of Asymmetry in Characteristics of CPS An asymmetric coplanar strip (ACPS waveguide is flexile in practical device design. Along with small sizes, the impedance, effective dielectric constant and microwave refractive index can e adjusted y changing the width of one of the strips while keeping the width of the other strip and of the gap fixed. In Fig.(6., ACPS has sustrate thickness h with permittivity ε r, w is the width of the strip conductor, s is the space etween signal and ground conductors and w is the width of ground conductor. Fig.(6.: Structure of asymmetrical CPS (ACPS In our study, we have used the conductor thickness independent static expressions for ε eff and Z 0 of the ACPS otained from equations-(3.78 and (3.79 respectively: 88

However, these expressions are modified empirically to take into account the finite strip conductor thickness and the skin-depth penetration using equation-(6.8 and (6.9. Fig. (6.a and (6. compare ε eff and Z 0 computed y the closed-form model on the sustrate with ε r =.9, t = 3 µm, w = 0 µm and h = 635 µm against HFSS and Sonnet for three cases of asymmetry i.e. w /w =, and 4 for frequency range GHz - 60 GHz. The computation of ε eff and Z 0 y the model has % average and % maximum deviations of (.%, 4.8% and (.4%, 5.6% respectively against oth the EM simulators.

The Al metal layer of thickness µm lie on top of SiO uffer layer of thickness 7.4 µm that is deposited on p-sustrate. The strip conductor has conductivity 3.7 x 0 7 S/m. The relative dielectric constant of SiO is 3.9 and tan δ = The operating frequency range is 0. GHz - 50 GHz. The effective relative permittivity for multilayer ACPS structure realized with the sustrate stack has een calculated from equations-(6.9a and (6.0a. Fig.(6.3a - Fig.(6.3c compare the results for three cases targeting approximately the same characteristic impedance i.e. Z 0 =50Ω: (a w = 5 µm, s = 5 µm, ( w = 0 µm, s = 0 µm, and (c w = 30 µm, s = 30 µm. In this case w was fixed at twice that of w. The narrow line has more series resistance and hence more resistive loss is oserved at low frequencies. At high frequencies, the wider line exhiits more dielectric loss due to increased spreading out of the electromagnetic field into the sustrate. The closed-form models show etter agreement with the results from experiment and Sonnet except at narrow strip conductor and narrow gap for lower frequency range. The LINPAR has more deviation from the experimental results all over the range. The line widths of around 0 µm give the optimum comination of low and high frequency loss over the andwidth of the distriuted mixer [93].

27 In order to account the strip conductor thickness for these line structures, we have to modify equation- (6.3 - (6.7 y using equation-(6.6.

( c Np/m (6.30 When π is replaced y π in the aove equation, IHK model for non-planar CPS with ground plane width ( π θ ψ is otained. We have tested the accuracy of the closedform models developed for propagation characteristics of non-planar CPS, for oth ( π θ ψ and ( π θ ψ ground plane width, against the results otained from EMsimulators- HFSS and CST, as shown in Fig.(6.5 and Fig.(6.6. Fig.(6.5 presents comparisons of performances of CPS on the circular and semi-circular cylindrical surfaces in respect of effective relative permittivity, characteristic impedance and losses. It also presents such comparisons for the CPS on the elliptical and semi- ellipsoidal cylindrical surfaces. The results are otained over the frequency range, GHz 60 GHz. For simulation, we have taken the sustrate with ε r =.5, θ = 40, ψ = 5, h = 635 µm and t = 3 µm. For ECPS, the ellipticity c = 0.7 is considered. With increase in the ellipticity and decrease in the ground width, there is increase in oth ε eff and Z 0.So y controlling ellipticity, ε eff and Z 0 of the line can e controlled as well. We have oserved that in oth HFSS and CST, increase in the value of effective relative permittivity starts after 00 GHz; whereas the closed-form model shows continuous increase after 0 GHz. The experimental results are not traceale to verify the nature of dispersion. However the model has an average deviation of.9% against the results of oth HFSS and CST over whole frequency range. 96

30 Like CPW, the effective relative permittivity increases for the semi- circular and semiellipsoidal CPS as compared against the CPS on the circular and elliptical surfaces. The characteristic impedances of semi - circular and semi- ellipsoidal cases are also higher as compared to the CPS on the circular and elliptical surfaces. The total loss of nonplanar CPS is computed for ε r αt =.9, t = 3µm, θ = 8, ψ = 5, c = 0.7, h = 635 µm, tan δ = and σ = 4. x 0 7 S/m etween frequency range GHz 60 GHz. On comparing, the closed-form model # and closed-form model # have % average and % maximum deviation of (6.5%, 6.7% and (3%, 8% respectively against oth the EMsimulators, excluding results at GHz due to large deviations. The closed-form model # is in close agreement with HFSS at higher frequencies. The losses are almost identical for oth the cases. The nature of dispersion is identical for oth cases.

Both εeff and Z 0 decreases with increase in the conductor thickness. Fig. (6.6c further compares the total loss of the ECPS and CCPS for ε r =.9, θ = 8, ψ = 5, f = 0GHz, h = 635 µm, tan δ = and σ = 4. x0 7 S/m for conductor thickness range 0.5µm - 0µm.

In this section, we have extended the improved closed-form models for the line parameters of single-layered, equations- (6.7-(6.30, to multilayer non-planar CPS y applying SLR technique and using equation-(6.0.

Fig. (6.7a shows that effective relative permittivities of semi-ellipsoidal CPS and semi-circular CPS are more than elliptical and circular CPS.

35 6.8 Circuit Model of CPS In this section, the accuracy of the circuit model of the CPS are compared against four softwares- HFSS, Sonnet, CST and MOM-ased software LINPAR on the effective relative permittivity, real and imaginary characteristics impedances and total loss. We compare accuracy of our parameters extraction against the extracted line parameters using EM-simulators- HFSS, Sonnet, CST and MOM-ased software LINPAR. We have taken 0.0 GHz 0 GHz frequency range and the CPS is considered on the sustrate with ε r =.9, s = 8µm, w = 4µm, h = 00µm and t = 0.5µm. The extracted frequency dependent RLCG line parameters are shown and compared in Fig.(6.9. The line resistance R, presented in Fig.(6.9a shows increase with frequency. As frequency increases, the skin-depth ecomes smaller than the conductor thickness and surface resistance increases as the square-root of frequency. The results otained from circuit model are closer to LINPAR and HFSS. The line inductance L, presented in Fig.(6.9, shows decrease in its value with increase in frequency from 0.0 GHz to GHz. It is due to decrease in the internal inductance of the CPS. Aove GHz change in line inductance is insignificant. The results of the circuit model follow results of EMsimulators closely. The line capacitance C, presented in Fig.(6.9c, also shows decrease in its value with increase in frequency from 0.0 GHz to 0 GHz. The non-causal circuit model closely follows results of HFSS. It follows physical ehavior of a capacitor. The results of circuit model and EM-simulators, presented in Fig.(6.9d, show increase in line conductance G with frequency. The circuit model closely follows EM-simulators. 03
36 (a ( (c (d Fig.(6.9: Extraction of RLCG parameters of lossy planar CPS using circuit model and EM-simulators. Finally we otain frequency dependent effective relative permittivity, characteristic impedance - real and imaginary parts, and total loss from the RLCG parameters. These results otained from the circuit models are presented in Fig.(6.0 and compared against the results of EM-simulators. The results of circuit model follow results of EMsimulators; whereas results of our previous closed-form individual models do not follow simulators, especially at lower end of frequency inspite of our accounting for the internal inductance effect. It is true for all the parameters - effective relative permittivity, losses and characteristic impedance. 04
