Abstract

A novel algorithm is developed to calculate parasitic coupling between transmission lines in an efficient manner. The algorithm works by using the currents and voltages on the lines in the absence of parasitics to calculate independent voltage and current sources, which then give the approximate coupling strength between the various lines. These sources are easy to place in a CAD (computer-aided design) program. The observed splitting of the resonance, for this particular example, is modeled by using dependent sources as calculated from the independent sources.<>
