Notes :

The circuit behavior is like a l/2-resonator (len=1mm). The resonance frequencies are f_{r_meas}=53GHz and f_{r_sim}=54.2GHz. The deviation between measurement and simulation results from the calculated e_eff, which is a static value for the FD-simulator (40W⁵ CPW: e_{eff_static} = 6.66). The real e_eff is frequency dependent and was simulated with a spectral domain analysis: e_eff(f=60GHz) = 7.106. The theoretical resonance frequencies for these values are f_r(e_eff=6.66) = 58.39GHz, f_r(e_eff=7.106) = 56.65GHz, if the whole circuit consists of 40W⁵ lines. Although it proofs the difference between measurement and simulation.
