Shielded coupled multilayered microstrip lines analysis using HBEM

Abstract

Shielded symmetrical coupled multilayered microstrip lines analysis have been done using the hybrid boundary element method (HBEM), which is developed a few years ago at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Niš. The quasi-TEM approximation is applied. Influences of different parameters as well as dimensions of such microstrip lines on characteristic parameters distribution are investigated. The results are presented in graphs and tables. In order to verify the obtained results, some comparative results are shown. The authors found them to be in very good agreement with the HBEM results.
