Abstract
The finite difference method (FDM) is applied to the analysis of micro wave integrated circuit (MIC) components that are based on the coplana r waveguide geometry. Effective dielectric constant, attenuation due t o dielectric loss, and line impedance are calculated for open and shie lded MICs as functions of transmission line dimensions and material pa rameters. The FDM is shown to be a practical engineering CAD tool for detailed examination of MICs having an arbitrary number of conductors and lossy dielectric layers, including field effect transistors.
