On The Cutoff Wavelength of V-shaped Microshield Line by Edge-based Finite Element Method

Paper i proceeding, 2005

In this paper, the cutoff characteristics of V-shaped microshield transmission line has been analysed by edge-based finite element method. Dependence of cutoff wavelengths on the thickness of metallic signal strip, dielectric constant of dielectric substrate and the vertex angle of the V-shaped ground conductor are presented in tabular form. Numerical results in this paper have important values in the design of V-shaped microshield lines in microwave and millimeter wave integrated circuits.
