            Abstract : 
The paper presents a full-wave integral formulation of Maxwell´s equations for the analysis of planar interconnects typically used in PCBs. The presence of the dielectric is taken into account by means of the method of the Green´s function, whose components are efficiently computed using a polynomial fitting based on the Total Least Square method. This implementation has been included in the surface integral formulation and its numerical implementation SURFCODE, enabling the analysis of single-layered planar interconnects.
