Phenomenological Loss Equivalence Method for Planar Quasi-Tem Transmission Lines Using a Thin Normal Conductor or Superconductor
Abstract
This technical report presents a simple and practical method for the conductor loss calculation over a wide range of field penetration which can be applied to both normal-state and superconducting transmission lines. The calculated results for microstrip lines and coplanar waveguides using normal conductors and superconductors agree very well with the data obtained using the finite element method, the Monte-Carlo method, and experimental measurements. Because of the calculation simplicity, this method is very suitable for computer-aided design of monolithic microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits. (RRH)
