An alternative method for end-effect characterization in shorted slotlines

Overview of Signal Integrity and EMC Design Technologies on PCB: Fundamentals and Latest Progress

“…For accurately modeling the EM characteristic of slotline structures, the approximate analysis, transverse method, Galerkin method, and even full-wave numerical simulation have been employed [94]- [96]. Besides, the investigations of slotline discontinuities including the slot-to-microstrip transition, short/open-end effect have both been widely discussed [97]- [99]. Based on the electrical behavior of the slotline, the transmission-line model [100], [101] demonstrates the SI issues induced by signal traces crossing a common slotline.…”

Terahertz Band Propagation Characteristics of Coupling Multiconductor Transmission Lines in Multilayer Media

“…In the present paper, the transmission characteristics of microstrip-slot coupled structures are studied. Consider coupled M transmission conductors situated in a N -layered dielectric substrate over a ground plane of perfect conductor [39]. The strips of widths w v (v = 1, 2, .…”

“…Equation ( 7) is the coupled-mode equations which play the same role as the transmission line equations in the quasi-static approach. The solutions determine the propagation constant β m of the coupled mode m and the modal amplitude a vm of the current on the v-th line [39]. Although various numerical techniques have been developed for the rigorous analysis of coupled lines, those direct solution methods become much more involved and are very time consuming computationally when the number of lines increases.…”
