Universal method of the analysis of multilayered planar lines and complex guides

Multiconductor transmission lines arranged in multilayered dielectric medium are widely used in the design of microwave and millimeter-wave integral circuits. Plenty of work devoted to calculation of these lines was published. It is not simple even to list majority of them. Increasing the number of conductor, component density, frequency, design complexity of transmission lines needs sharply increasing volume of calculation. Therefore, the requirements of efficiency as well as high accuracy of used method become more severe.
