In this thesis the network analog method is used to
analyze various planar multi-conductor structures in
multilayered, lossy dielectric media. The method is
based on an efficient impedance network representation
of the finite difference approximation of Laplace's
equation for the electric potential. Using the network
analog method, the transmission line parameters are
computed for several different uniform stripline
structures in lossless and lossy multilayered
dielectric material. The network analog method is also
applied to several three-dimensional structures
consisting of single and coupled conducting patches of
rectangular shape. Results obtained with the network
analog method for single conducting patches in single
and multilayered lossless dielectric media are in good
agreement with published results based on a variational
approach. Further results presented in this thesis
include the coupling capacitance for coplanar and
multilevel patch configurations in lossless and lossy
multilayered dielectric media. / Graduation date: 2000
