| Abstract: | Transmission line parameters such as characteristic impedance Z 0, effective dielectric constant ε eff, attenuation constant α of suspended microstrip line on multilayer low resistively silicon substrate are investigated using full wave FEM simulator HFSS. Effect of variation in the thickness of Si 3N 4, polyimide and metal layers on attenuation are studied. Due to suspended nature, significant reduction in transmission loss is observed in the simulation at 60 GHz frequency. Discontinuities such as open end, gap and step in width of strip conductor are analyzed to extract their lumped equivalent circuits which can be used in the design of integrated circuits. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. |
