Monte Carlo constant pitch option for differential structures
Application Note AP8209

Monte Carlo constant pitch capability for selected differential structures

This will allow users to simulate production variations while constraining the trace pitch on selected differential structures.

The following are the currently supported structures:-

  Edge-Coupled Surface Microstrip 1B
  Edge-Coupled Surface Microstrip 2B
  Edge-Coupled Coated Microstrip 1B
  Edge-Coupled Coated Microstrip 2B
  Edge-Coupled Offset Stripline 1B1A
  Edge-Coupled Offset Stripline 1B2A
  Edge-Coupled Offset Stripline 2B2A
  Differential Coated Coplanar Waveguide With Ground 1B
  Differential Coated Coplanar Waveguide With Ground 2B
  Differential Offset Coplanar Waveguide 1B1A
  Differential Offset Coplanar Waveguide 1B2A
  Differential Coated Coplanar With Cutout Ground 2B

Selecting any of the above structures will present you with the following dialog box:-
