Loss and Crosstalk Measurement Methodologies in Frequency Domain Using ADS Momentum - 1

This document summarizes how to model and simulate PCB traces using Agilent ADS. It discusses importing PCB artwork, using the ADS-Cadence link, performing EM simulations with Momentum, and analyzing crosstalk. Key steps include defining substrates and layers, placing ports, generating meshes, running S-parameter simulations, and measuring near-end and far-end crosstalk between signals on the same and different PCB layers. The document provides an example analysis of loss and crosstalk for high-speed differential signals on a motherboard.

Advanced Design System

Advanced Design System


is a electronic design automation tool for RF, microwave, and high
speed digital applications.
3D EM Simulation tool from Agilent Technologies
in-built transmission line models, microwave models, substrate models
etc.
option to modify the above models based on our design requirement.
has two key EM Tools,viz, ADS layout and ADS Schematic.

Starting a Design in ADS

StartAll ProgramsAdvanced Design System 2009 Update 1


Advanced Design System 2009 Update 1

Creating/importing PCB artwork in ADS


Draw/Create within ADS layout.
Schematic-to-Layout transformation.
Import (DXF, ODB++, etc.)
Export from Cadence and import in ADS layout.

ADS Layout
Open ADS layout
Choose your Tline model, and edit /update the model based on your
requirement
Define substrate, layer.

ADS-Cadence Link
Selective transfer of nets (traces, power/gnd planes)

cookie cutter feature


Substrate stack-up
Automatic port generation

To enable the Export To ADS option, go to your ADS installation


Directory(C:\ADS2009U1\ial\scripts) and Replay the eemLocalConfig.scr
Once you done the above procedure, just restart the allegro, then we will be able to see the
new menu (Export To ADS)in our cadence tool.

artwork creation/import process is done, now


we are ready to go for MOMENTUM
SIMULATION.

Momentum _ Loss Analysis


This system has 360 high speed differential signals running at 3.75 GHZ
frequencies(7.5 Gbps) and these signals looped back to its motherboard
through Amphenols crossbow Connector.
Loss measurements are performed on the longest and shortest high speed data
channels.
Task is to find out the maximum /minimum allowable track length of the high
speed data signals.

There are 5 process


in MOM method
*Substrate
*Port
*Mesh,Edgh Mesh
*Planar EM Solve
*Data Display

MOM vs FEM
Two types of simulator
Momentum(Method of moments)
FEM(Finite Element Method)

Momentum enables you to:


Simulate when a circuit model range is exceeded or the model does not exist
Identify parasitic coupling between components
Go beyond simple analysis and verification to design automation of circuit performance
Visualize current flow and 3-dimensional displays of far-field radiation

Momentum>Mesh>setup
A mesh is a grid-like pattern of triangles and rectangles, and each
triangle or rectangle is a cell.
The mesh is applied to the circuit in order to compute the current
within each cell and identify any coupling effects in the circuit during
simulation.
Edge Mesh to add a relatively dense mesh along the edges of objects
Since most current flows along the edges of objects, the edge mesh
can improve the accuracy and speed of a simulation

Interlayer Crosstalk Between Dual Stripline


For the analysis High speed pairs from T06 & T05 layers are
considered for analysis
The dielectric spacing between these dual stripline layer is 7.9mil
In the below picture the pink traces are on T05 traces and orange
traces are on T06 trace. The traces on T06 are the aggressor nets.
