Abstract :
A method is described which can be used to calculate the capacitances of microstrip-like transmission lines on a dielectric substrate contained with a conducting box. The FFT is used once to sum a large number of series, and, by the judicious use of the resulting summations, the approximate capacitances of any strips on the dielectric substrate can be obtained after the solution of a set of simultaneous equations.
