Static analysis of V transmission lines

A static analysis of V-shaped transmission lines is performed using a moment method formulation. Measurements were performed on a sample, and the validity of the theoretical results is verified by the experimental data. Characteristic impedance and propagation velocity are found to be strongly dependent on the angle parameter. Comparison with microstrip indicates a lower characteristic impedance and higher effective permittivity for V transmission lines. For multiple lines, the shape of the ground reference leads to lower coupling coefficients and lower mutual inductance and capacitance between adjacent lines.<
