An Equivalent Circuit for EMI Prediction in Printed Circuit Boards Featuring a Straight-to-Bent Microstrip Line Coupling
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 5, 107-118, 2008
Abstract
A full-wave analysis of the scattering parameters of a straight-to-bent microstrip line coupling is performed using a FEM technique. The numerical results, showing the influence played by the geometrical parameters of the structure on the electromagnetic coupling, are then employed to derive an equivalent circuit useful to be employed in CAD tools. A third order polynomial approximant useful to compute the equivalent circuit elements is finally provided.
