CPW based Hybrid Coupler using IE 3D

Hi:

1) Right now iam simulating CPW based Hybrid coupler in the normal Coplanar mode and the slot mode. Can any body tell me how to define the ports for the both the configurations.

2) I have placed MEMS air bridges on the CPW bends in order to reduce higher order modes. So can any body tell me how to define the the MEMS air bridges in IE-3D.

regards

Hi, Faeyz: Defining CPW port is descirbed in the manual. However, if you don't know what to do for your particular structure, please uploade it or send the file to me at: jian@zeland.com

Hi Jian:

Iam still not able to simulate it correctly and can u plz tell how to define the ports for slot mode as well as the CPW mode. I have also placed the MEMS air bridges on the CPW bends can u plz me.

thanks

Hi, Faeyz:

Please send me (jian@zeland.com) a description on your structure or your IE3D geometry file with some explanation. I will try to help you. Thanks!

Best regards,
