A new three-component measured equation of invariance (MEI) boundary condit
ion is developed and applied to the hybrid edge/nodal. vector finite elemen
t method, The electric held distribution. on the-cross: section of various
lossy transmission lines is calculated,The propagation constant of a lossy
transmission linewidth coated conductor strip is also calculated, The three
-component MEI boundary condition simulates the field distribution on-the a
rtificial boundary for electromagnetic field excited by the-surface charge
density and the three vector components of the electric current density. Nu
merical experiments are performed to test the method by comparing calculate
d transmission loss with the measured data.
