Abstract

This paper presents a derivation of the capacitance of a shielded microstrip line using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The first approach adopts a 2-D version of Gauss's theorem and an approximation of integral to finite differencing. In this case, the choice of a contour and the size of a mesh affects the validity of the capacitance. Next, the method for deriving the capacitance by using of energy relation is shown. Finally, the simulation results are compared to those of the commercial tool (COMSOL) adopted FEM.
