Abstract :
A generalized potential-matching method incorporating reflection matrices is developed to calculate the capacitance of microshield lines with trapezoidal, circular, and V-shaped shields. Both completely shielded and half-shielded lines are analyzed. The effects of membrane thickness, strip width, and gapwidth on the characteristic impedance are studied
