Abstract

GLS3D, a recently developed solver code, coupled with the existing EAGLE grid generation code, is used to numerically solve for the potential and charge distributions of a transmission line formed by two elliptical conductors. This technique employs the finite-difference solution using boundary fitted coordinates. Results obtained by this technique and by the finite-difference technique with a rectangular grid are presented. A comparison with theoretical results for circular and flat conductors is made to illustrate the validity of the technique
