Abstract
The finite element method (FEM) with tetrahedral elements has been applied to a meander delay line problem for determining propagation characteristics. S11 at the input port and the field variation right above the delay line are calculated and compared with reference data. The effects of meander line spacing and meander line length on the output voltage are also investigated. Results are obtained for various dielectric substrates having different thicknesses.
