Abstract

This paper reports on an enhanced implementation of the spectral-domain analysis (SDA) of boxed multistrip or multislot transmission lines embedded in a layered medium, including biaxial materials. Very high numerical efficiency is attained by a suitable basis and mixed SDA and spatial-domain technique to calculate the entries of the Galerkin matrix. Convergence properties of SDA are drastically improved, making it competitive with other analytical techniques [such as regular singular integral equation (RSIE)]. The method allows quick and accurate computation of current/field distributions
