Abstract :
The ´Method of Lines´ provides the analytical framework for the construction of algorithms that enable a class of coplanar slow-wave structures to be analysed, with particular reference to interconnects on MMIC´s. A suite of computational routines has been constructed which provides a high degree of flexibility, and produces results with the minimum of user intervention. This is intended to be used as a engineering design tool.
