CAD-oriented analytic formulas are given for calculating the quasistat
ic parameters of the cylindrical coplanar strip (CCPS) lines. The curv
ature effects on the quasistatic characteristics of CCPS are investiga
ted by using conformal mapping techniques. The calculated results are
compared with those obtained for a corresponding planar CPS and asymme
trical CPS. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
