All testing performed on 13.3-mil-thick Rogers RO4350 microstrip board, with the UUT subtending a 44 mil gap in a 30 mil-wide center trace (nominal
50-ohm characteristic impedance). Measurements were made using a four-receiver architecture. Measurements have been de-embedded to the edges of
the UUT using a standard TRL calibration procedure.

Models were simulated using Ansoft HFSS version 14 in a perfect 50 ohm environment with ideal ports placed at the edge of the pads to ground. The
boundary condition was set to be a radiating boundary in air.
