samu 0.1.0

A simple coplanar electrical channel crosstalk extractor for Samuel.

Sam

A simple coplanar metal stripline electrical cross-talk 2.5D extractor.

Install

Using pip

$pip install sampex

Binaries:

There are two available binaries that you can directly download from this repo:

1. samwin - Windows .exe executable.

2. samnix - .nix systems executable.

Usage

The tool requires two input YAML files:

sam example_setup.yml -g

The input setup file contains a description of the dielectric emersing the coplanar metal strips and the geometry of the setup:

#example_setup.yml

materials:
  poliomide:
    material_type: dielectric
    rel_permittivity: 3.3
    rel_permeability: 1.0

  copper:
    material_type: metal
    resistivity: 1.68e-8 # Ohm.m

geometry:
  units: micro
  metal_width: 3.0
  metal_thickness: 0.5
  separation: 1.0
  strip_length: 3e4 # 3 cm

The -gflag enables visualization of the geometry and the crosstalk results using a GUI.
