Abstract

This thesis is concerned with the analysis of the current distributions in coplanar parallel microstripline structures, and the calculation of crosstalk in these structures. This is accomplished by using a Finite Element Method approach. Two parallel strips, a right angle bend junction, and a T junction are studied in order to gain an insight into the current distributions and the primary causes of crosstalk. The control of crosstalk is also investigated, with alternative geometries for microstrip designs. It is seen that the finite element method can yield results comparable with other accepted methods, and other perceivable physical models of the test structures. Also shown in the present study that crosstalk can be reduced by decreasing the trace-to-ground plane separation.
