37 Microstrip Cross section of a microstrip structure W h H E å r ground plane Complex geometry and non-uniform fields makes a complicated flux image. e r in the substrate is therefore not usable for calculation of for example electrical length in the line structure.

Some other cases are corners and bends serial gap (to realize a serial capacitance) undesired coupling between nearby structures Crosstalk CAD tools are necessary for analysis and design of more complex circuits ADS and others In worst case a complete structure may be simulated by the finite element method and Maxwell s equations which is both time and memory consuming Johan Wernehag, EIT RF Amplifier Design ETIN50 - Lecture 4 46
