HFSS Microstrip Characteristic Impedance Simulation

The selected dielectric material is FR4, the dielectric constant is 4.4, and the plate thickness is 1mm. First, roughly calculate the line width of the 50 ohm transmission line:


The line width of the 50 ohm transmission line is about 1.92mm, and then the accurate simulation is carried out with HFSS:

While characteristic impedance is a fairly stable property, it decreases slightly with increasing frequency:

Due to the skin effect (when there is alternating current or alternating electromagnetic field in the conductor, the current distribution inside the conductor is not uniform, and the current is concentrated in the "skin" part of the conductor,

That is to say, the current is concentrated in the thin layer on the outer surface of the conductor. The closer it is to the surface of the conductor, the greater the current density, and the actual current inside the wire is smaller)


When the frequency increases, the current concentrates on the surface of the wire, the current density in the wire decreases, and the internal inductance of the wire decreases.

(The essence of inductance is the number of turns of the magnetic field around the current)

However, the external inductance remains unchanged, so the total wire inductance decreases, resulting in a weakly smaller characteristic impedance.
