a.(Rogers 5880, Substrate DK = 2.2)
b. Due to the PCB metal layer thickness much less than resolution delta (metal layer thickness << dz),
the metal layer will be import by using "Load Wire (*.stl)" function in 【Probe & Lumped】
A. Define the boundary conditions
A. Define the boundary conditions
B. Press the【創建 (Create)】button => Create the total grid size (Include the boundary condition & add space)
B. Press the【創建 (Create)】button => Create the total grid size (Include the boundary condition & add space)
In this case, wave source use "Voltage Source"，checked (None)
here using the PCB : Rogers 5880, DK=2.2,
A. define the Voltage Source
B. define the Probe V & I
C. Import the metal layer, due to the PCB metal layer thickness << delta (dz)
==> using the "Load Wire (*.stl)" function
