Abstract
This project’s focus is on the feasibility of designing an embedded coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line (TL) in order achieve the following: 1. Improve signal isolation 2. Determine whether embedded CPW is a better design alternative than stripline. Impedance calculations and S-parameter simulations are conducted in order to show whether embedded CPW TL is a viable solution. Data generated for this report is from analytical and numerical simulations. One set of characteristic impedance data was calculated by MathWorks© MATLAB software where the MATLAB code, provided by a senior engineer from Intel [1], and exported to Microsoft Excel. S-parameter results were generated with Keysight Technologies Momentum and Keysight Technologies Advanced Design System (ADS). Simulations showed that embedded CPW may not be a viable in place of stripline. Further analysis and research may be required.
