Microwave Filter on PCB This model analyzes the transfer function of a low-pass filter on a printed circuit board. Introduction Microstrip filters can be fabricated directly on a printed circuit board (PCB) with a microstrip line going from the input to the output. Along the microstrip line there are a number of stubs of certain lengths and widths. The design of the filter involves choosing the impedance of the microstrip line, the impedance of the stub microstrips, and the length of the stubs. This particular filter is based on a textbook example from Ref. 2. It is also used as example in Ref. 1, which contains results from other simulation tools and methods and is freely available online. The filter has a seven-pole low-pass Chebyshev response with a cutoff frequency of 1 GHz. The entire layout including the dielectric layer is imported from and ODB++(X) file using the ECAD Import feature. Model Definition The model uses the Electromagnetic Waves application mode that solves the vector Helmholtz wave equation. The PCB layout of the Chebyshev filter is imported using the ECAD Import feature, which creates the entire 3D geometry from the layout and stackup information of an ODB++ file. It also creates useful groups in the dialog boxes for subdomain and boundary settings. The cutoff frequency of the filter is 1 GHz by design, and the dielectric layer of the PCB has a relative permittivity of 10.8. The metal layers are modeled as perfect electric conductors with zero thickness, thereby avoiding a dense meshing of thin conductive layers. The ECAD import has an option that causes the import engine to ignores the thickness of metal layers and insert them as faces on the dielectric layer. The width of the microstrip line is 0.1 mm and the width of the stubs is 5 mm. The characteristics of the filter are sensitive to the placement and length of the stubs; therefore this model also analyzes the change in filter characteristics as a function of mechanical deformation. This is done by adding a Solid, Stress-Strain application mode together with a Moving Mesh application mode. The Moving Mesh application mode is necessary to enable the Electromagnetic Waves application mode to account for the deformation of the PCB. The deformation comes from a uniform load across the board with fixed input and output faces. 168 | CHAPTER 3: <strong>RF</strong> AND MICROWAVE MODELS
Because the filter cutoff should be close to 1 GHz, and its distortion caused by PCB bending is small, it is necessary to sweep the frequency near the cutoff, from 750 MHz up to 1.5 GHz. The first solution step performs this sweep for the Electromagnetics application mode without any mechanical deformation. Then the same sweep is performed with a mechanical deformation from a uniform load of 40 N. The Solid, Stress-Strain application mode calculates the deformation, and the Moving Mesh application mode applies this deformation to the coordinate system that the Electromagnetic Waves application mode use. Due to the one-way coupling between the three application modes, the Solid, Stress-Strain and Moving Mesh application modes can be solved more efficiently using the segregated solver. After this step, the frequency sweep is performed again for the Electromagnetic Waves application mode using the parametric solver. It is possible to solve for all three application modes simultaneously with the segregated solver. Doing so is unnecessary because the Solid, Stress-Strain and Moving Mesh application modes are frequency independent. MICROWAVE FILTER ON PCB | 169
