Computation of Capacitance of Shielded and Coupled Transmission Lines

Abstract

In this paper, we present the modeling of shielded three vertically coupled striplines and shielded four coupled microstrip lines embedded in a dielectric material media using finite element method (FEM). We specifically determine the capacitance per unit length of shielded three vertically coupled striplines and shielded four coupled microstrip lines embedded in a dielectric material. We compare our results with those obtained by method of lines (MoL) and found them to be in good agreement.
