Abstract :
In this paper we present a procedure of quasi-static analysis of coplanar waveguide discontinuities based on their equivalent schematic representation. Capacitances and inductances are calculated from scalar potentials. For magnetostatic formulation the boundary conditions for scalar potential are introduced by means of partitioning surfaces. The use of adaptive finite element method and multigrid method provides required flexibility with respect to analyzed geometry, optimal discretization and good efficiency. A quasi-static model is compared with the results of full wave simulation.
