Application of the finite element method in calculating the capacitance and inductance of multiconductor transmission lines

Multiconductor transmission lines in multilayered circuit are used to reduce dimensions and minimal pulse distortion and crosstalk for high-speed and high- density digital applications. In this paper we present modeling of the capacitance and inductance of two conductors in two different dielectric layers, two conductors in the same dielectric layers, and three conductors in three different dielectric layers. The modeling and simulation is illustrated using the finite element method (FEM).
