On the application of the Wiener-Hopf technique to electrostatic field problems in interdigital transducers

The Wiener-Hopf technique is used to compute the electrostatic field distribution in an interdigital transducer at the plane interface between two dielectric media sandwiched between two grounded metallic plates, with two grounded semi-infinite neighboring plates at the interface on each side of the transducer. To this end, the associated Green's function, which already satisfies the boundary conditions at all the grounded plates, is computed. The Green's function is used to derive the elements of the charge-potential-interrelation matrix for various basis and testing functions for a method-of-moments application. Examples demonstrate that the method has considerable advantages with respect to accuracy and computer-memory requirements.<
