A Simple Network Analog Approach for the Quasi-Static Characteristics of General Lossy, Anisotropic, Layered Structures

The quasi-static parameters of multilayered planar structures consisting of lossy and/or anisotropic dielectric media are computed by utilizing a simple, versatile discrete network analog having complex (e.g. , RL, RC) branches. The method is applied to compute the propagation constants, impedances, and field distribution for typical single and coupled strip structures.
