Ch. Wan et Wg. Lin, CAD-ORIENTED FORMULAS FOR THE QUASI-TEM PARAMETERS OF SHIELDED AND SEMIENCLOSED (COUPLED) COPLANAR WAVE-GUIDES, International journal of microwave and millimeter-wave computer-aided engineering, 4(4), 1994, pp. 336-348
On the magnetic-wall approximation for their slots, shielded coplanar
waveguides (SCPWs) and semienclosed CPWs (SECPWs) are analyzed through
an intensive use of elliptic function transformation. CAD-oriented fo
rmulas far the quasi-TEM parameters of SCPWs and SECPWs, including the
ir coupled versions, are derived. The comparison of the results calcul
ated here with previous ones show 2% accuracy for formulas in the prac
tical situation where the slots are not too,vide, e.g., s / (s + 2w) g
reater than or equal to 0.2 for an SCPW. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, I
