- C = 89 pF/m<br />

- Zo = 52Ω<br />

Transition Optimization<br />

The 2D field-solver example shows that close to 50Ω can be achieved if the ground plane<br />

under the pad footprint is cleared out. A 3D field solver is then used to verify this result to<br />

a greater degree of accuracy.<br />

Figure 5-6 shows the ground plane cleared away exactly as it was for the 2D simulation.<br />

Using frequency domain analysis within HFSS, there is a 20 dB (10x) improvement in<br />

return loss using this technique.<br />
