A new approach to quasi-static analysis with application to microstrip

摘要

The measured equation of invariance (MEI), a new, rapid technique for electromagnetic field analysis, is applied to planar circuit problems. Variations of the technique applicable to microstrip geometry are described. As a demonstration, it is then applied to electrostatic analysis of structures held at different potentials, using novel umbilical meshes. The MEI technique offers the possibility of order-of-magnitude increases in computational speed for typical problems of microwave CAD.
