Abstract
By modifying and adopting the incremental inductance rule, in association with the variational method in the Fourier domain, and using the single layer (SLR) formulation, we present a fast and accurate method to compute the conductor loss of a multilayer-coupled microstrip line with and without shield. The accuracy of the method has been tested against several full-wave methods. The conductor loss of many useful structures is compared. The method is valid for conductor thickness t > 1.11 skin depth.
