mesh option in momentum of ads

录入：edatop.com    点击：
Hi friends,
I am simulating bandstop filter(5.5G~6.5GHz) in momentum.When i set the stop frequency as 7.5GHz,i got:


And if i set the stop frequency is 8GHz,I can get:


My question,why can i get the different result as i set the different stop frequency?which one is correct?
Thanks,

I guess this is problem of mesh frequency and adaptive samples of simulation frequency.
Is it possible to share the design?
PM me if not desired for broadcast.

Not surprising with ADS momentum simulation, the mesh size is directly related to the stop frequency. You could manually set the mesh solving frequency, thereafter you could get the same result.

I observed the following violations.
1) W33 must be less than L33, design is not flattened once exported to layout.
2) Mesh frequency is set to 3GHZ only but has to be 8GHz
3) no of freq sampling points are limited to 10 only but for filters kind designs requires nearly 40 samples to cover the entire frequency range.

You are welcome!
You may find the answers of all your questions regarding ADS in "helps".
Under Topic "Defining a Mesh "
"The wavelength of this frequency will be used to determine the density of the mesh. In general, set the value of the mesh frequency to the highest frequency that will be simulated. "

But simulation results are meaningless unless you compare them with the practical measurement results.

Based on my experience, ADS is only useful for conversional planar structure. It is hard to simulate those structures which are more complicated.

HFSS is better in 3D enclosure structure EM simulation, but you also need to go through some "helps" before starting to use it.

I see now.Thanks kspalla and ahphs1983.

Momentum automatically takes highest frequency of simulation as mesh frequency you keep mesh frequency box blank. It is better keep this box blank

The obvious question was already asked: which one is correct?

I think the answer might be: Neither one!

You want your program to use a mesh size that is small enough so that making it smaller does not effect the results. I think that since the program is making two different predictions based apparently mesh size, you are maybe not there yet. Try another run with a still higher frequency and see how it matches the second highest frequency run.

I think if there is a manual mesh size control, you might want to use it! At the least, you want to be able to build the filter, see the actual response, and come back and use the same program for the respin (possibly forcing the predicted data to match the measured data by screwing with the substrate εr). You want the exact same mesh size for each of such calculations.

Obviously, the smaller the mesh size, the longer the computation time (it could take days!), so start off with a large mesh, get the filter close, and shrink the mesh size at the very end of the design.
