Computation of Inductance of Simple Vias Between Two Striplines Above a Ground Plane (Short Papers)

In this paper, an analysis is developed for calculating the lumped inductance of a simple via connecting two infinitely thin striplines, located above a perfectly conducting ground plane. The striplines are oriented in the same direction, and the via is assumed to be in the form of an infinitely thin vertical plate, connecting the two lines. This system is analyzed by a hybrid partial-element and circuit-theory approach. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the application of this technique.
