QUICK COMPUTATION OF [C]-MATRIX, [L]-MATRIX, [G]-MATRIX, AND [R]-MATRIX OF MULTICONDUCTOR AND MULTILAYERED TRANSMISSION-SYSTEMS

This paper presents a general scheme to compute the four characteristi c matrices, [C], [G], [L] and [R], of a multilayered and multiconducto r transmission line with arbitrary cross section conductors under quas i-TEM approach and strong skin effect regime. The conductors are model ed as a set of infinitesimally thin strips following the M-strip model . An spectral domain approach (SDA) has been employed, paying special attention to the efficient computation of the spectral tails. Conducto r losses are considered via the incremental inductance rule extended t o the multiconductor case.
