This diagram illustrates a typical design flow. The design flow is broadly separatedinto two parts: schematic-based design and layout-based design. Also represented isthe design feedback path which goes throughout the entire design process.Schematic-based DesignThe schematic-based design starts with system design, where specifications are setand system architecture is studied to understand design tradeoffs. Once the systemarchitecture is set, the specifications of each sub-module is set.
After the system design and prior to circuit design, there is an initial investigationinto the design approach. This includes literature and textbook study, as well as theuse of specialized synthesis tools. The synthesis tools provide a starting point forthe circuit design.
Circuit Design involves the details of going from the design specification to thefinal schematic-based design. This process involves the circuit simulators (linearsimulation, harmonic balance, transient, convolution, envelope,…), as well asdesign tools such as circuit optimization and post-processing of the analysis data.

From the system analysis, the low pass filter is determined to need a 1 dB cornerfrequency at 3.2 GHz, with at least 25 dB of attenuation in the 3.9-6.0 GHz.

Design Synthesis for the filter is done with E-Syn to determine the starting design.It is determined that a 7th order Chebychev filter with fc = 3.2 GHz and passbandripple of 0.5 dB will work. The ideal analysis gives slightly less than 25 dB ofrejection at 3.9 GHz, but the less desirable alternative was to go to a 9th order filter.With the actual implementation in microstrip, the component values can be slightlymodified to achieve the goal.
The synthesis part of the design process can be done on the order of hours to days,depending on the amount of research needed, and the ability of a standard design tomeet the design goals.

The capacitors of the filter will be implemented as microstrip butterfly radial stubs.The parameters for W and D are fixed, and through a manual process of binarysearch, the angle and radius are determined. The capacitor value is determinedthrough post processing the S-parameters (illustrated on the next slide). Thedimensions determined for the radial stub are as follows:C1= C2 = 1.727 pF { W = 40 mil, Ro = 218.7 mil, angle = 60, D = 15 mil }C3 = C4 = 2.623 pF { W = 40 mil, Ro = 276.6 mil, angle = 45, D = 15 mil }
The substrate The substrate used is 59 mil thick GETEK. Due to manufacturing tolerance, thedielectric constant is held to a range between 3.7 and 4.3.Understanding the manufacturing tolerance is important for design. A company, aspart of the design process, usually has characterized the material and the processtolerance and can provide this information to designers to improve their designaccuracy.At this point the circuit is being prototyped by an outside vendor. For this examplethe material is considered to be an unknown; so the design is based on themanufacturing specification for the material.
For the purpose of this presentation to illustrate the design process, the dielectric of4.3 is chosen.

Method 1 - Iterative Analysis / Post Process
The S-parameters from the analysis on the previous slide are converted intocapacitance. The S-parameter analysis is done at the 1 dB cutoff frequency 3.2 GHz.Since microstrip is dispersive, the capacitor value determined here will appear tohave different values of capacitance at other frequencies. Since it is impossiblewith microstrip to get the same capacitor values at all frequencies, the cutofffrequency is chosen as the design frequency.
Since this is a one-port S-parameter analysis, S11 can be converted into Zin with theequation:Zin = 50*[(1 + S11) / (1 - S11)]
Zin can then be converted into an equivalent capacitance with the equation:Cin = -1 / (2*pi*freq*imag(Zin))

Circuit optimization can be used as an alternative to the binary search procedureused in the previous slides. For this circuit, the radial stub (which is set up foroptimization) is connected to S-parameter Port 1, and the ideal capacitor isconnected to S-parameter Port 2. Two goals are set up to minimize the differencebetween S11 and S22 for the real and imaginary terms.Goals:-0.001 < imag(S11) - imag(S22) < 0.001-0.001 < real(S11) - real(S22) < 0.001

In a similar way, a high impedance microstrip line is used for the inductor. Binarysearch or optimization can be used to determine the dimensions. The dimensionsdetermined for the inductors are as follows:L1= L3 = 3.129 nH { W = 40 mil, L = 215 mil }L2 = 3.342 nH { W = 40 mil, L = 225.7 mil }

The design flow now crosses the design flow boundary between schematic-baseddesign and layout-based design. A layout of the schematic is produced. At thispoint, there is design feedback to determine if the dimensions of the radial stubs andtransmission lines cause the geometry to overlap. It can also be observed if thegeometry would require EM simulation to determine the effect of parasiticcoupling.

At this point, the designer determines that EM analysis is required. Two choices areavailable: a planar EM solver or a 3D solver. HP offers Momentum as a planarmethod of moments solver, and HFSS as a 3D finite elements solver.HP Momentum is an integrated product which works directly from the Layout ofHP ADS. HP HFSS is a separate product which has translators to directly readlayout from HP ADS. If the layout is part of a solved Momentum project, then thelayout and substrate information are used to form a complete HP HFSS project. Ifthe layout is only in EGS format, then the translator provides the ability to definethe substrate definition and layer mapping.

The results of the EM simulation can be compared to the ideal results and themicrostrip schematic simulation results. Momentum shows a large deviation in thepredicted stop band performance of the filter. This is due, mainly, to the additionalparasitics present in the actual geometry and not accounted for in the schematicrepresentation.

Search for causes of discrepancy
Since this is an unknown substrate and manufacturing process, there are severalpossible causes for the differences in the simulation and measured results. It isimportant to check the manufacturing process for the dimensions of the actualgeometry produced as well as the actual substrate properties. If both of these are inagreement with the simulation assumptions, then the designer can look intomodifying the design.

The first design feedback is to check the geometry. Using a machinist microscopeto measure the circuit, it is observed that the etching process has over-etched thecircuit by varying amounts. The over-etched circuit is from 0.5 mil to 1 mildifferent than the intended design. This can contribute to the difference in thefrequency response.

The layout geometry is modified based on the microscope measurements, and thenew dielectric constant is used from the dielectric probe measurement. Theresulting Momentum analysis now compares favorably with the measured results.
This filter design does not meet the original design specification, but the learningthat resulted from the design feedback will help with the further design iterations.The design process is a series of design and re-design steps that are used to gain anunderstanding of the circuit and of the manufacturing considerations.

The parameters for this optimization are illustrated. Each graphic shows andoverlay of the nominal geometry with the perturbed geometry. Each of theseperturbed geometries exists in their own separate layout file. The four parametersfor optimization are:•The length of inductor L1 (L3 is changed at the same time as L1)•The length of inductor L2•The radius of the radial stub C1 (C2 is changed at the same time at C1)•The radius of the radial stub C3 (C4 is changed at the same time at C3)
The two rules to remember for defining an optimization parameter are:•There must be no change in the number of vertices.•The defined parameter represents a linear translation of the vertices

The Momentum Optimization process is started from the Momentum menu. Thegeneral process to start an optimization is the following:•Define candidate parameters for optimization•Specify the design goals•Setup and run the optimization
The parameters for this example are the radius of the radial stubs, and the length ofthe inductive transmission lines. From the parameters dialog, define the following:
•variable name•nominal value•perturbed value•starting value.
With the advanced options, the lower and upper limit can be set for the variable.When ‘Add’ is selected, a copy of the nominal design is automatically made todefine the perturbed design.

Momentum Optimization uses a process called geometry capture to specify acandidate parameter for optimization.
Geometry capture can be defined by the following process:• Define the nominal design - the geometry of interest will serve as a start• Define the perturbed design - simply define the parameter name to add, andMomentum makes a copy of the nominal design in a new layout window.• Move the affected vertices on the perturbed design to define the parameter foroptimization. The difference between the nominal design and the perturbed designwill define the parameter.
