Abstract :
The quasi-static capacitance and inductance of the coplanar waveguide (CPW) are characterized independently using the boundary-element method (BEM). The inductance calculation utilizes the magnetic scalar potential and avoids, the usual vector formulation. The proposed method can be easily extended to characterize three-dimensional problems such as CPW discontinuities.<>
