Rich,

In HSPICE 99.2 frequency dependent resistance modeling
was changed.

Previous versions of HSPICE model frequency dependent
resistance as:

R(f) = Ro + Rs*sqrt(f)

The changes occured after Dmitri left.

regards,

scott

I need a little clarification here. I must be thinking too slow.

Do HSPICE versions prior to 99.2 not use the Sqrt(f)*(1+j)*Rs?

Do Quad Design's W models use the Sqrt(f)*(1+j)*Rs?

If the Sqrt(f)*(1+j)*Rs are only valid for cylindrical conductors, then
should we not use W elements for microstrip and strip line or are they just
less accurate. If so, how much less and at for what frequencies?

Dmitri you said you used Rs*Sqrt(f) in the W element. Is this Rs the curve
fit coefficient for Re(rs) or the |rs|?

                Subject:        Re: [SI-LIST] : Proposal: Rs
correlation/collaboration for W-Elements

                I agree with Richard, the really important factor is
accuracy of Rs and
                Gd values.  As they are multiplied by frequency, a small
error makes a
                huge difference.  But for a given Rs and Gd, my algorithm in
W element
                will give you mathematically accurate answer.

                I would like to comment on the Sqrt(f)*(1+j)*Rs skin-effect
equation
                introduced in Hspice 99.2.  It has mathematically correct
imaginary
                part, and does not require frequency-response correction.
But this
                equation is only valid for cylindrical conductors and only
at higher
                frequencies.

                This skin-effect equation produces the corresponding
inductive component
                Ls(f)=Rs/(2*Pi*Sqrt(f)).  Thus, the inductance becomes
infinite at dc.
                This substantially alters the waveforms especially when Rs
is large.

                This was the reason I used Rs*Sqrt(f) in W element.  This
equation gives
                asymptotically correct loss, and I was restoring the correct
imaginary
                part for any, not just cylindrical, configuration by
applying
                frequency-response correction.

                Regards,
                Dmitri Kuznetsov
