| Rectangular microstrip structures are widely used in various microwave devices. Using the method of moments and principle of partial images, various techniques are developed to determine charge distribution in 2D models of microstrip structures (their cross-section). In this paper, a technique for calculating surface charge distribution and total capacitance of complex 3D rectangular microstrip structures is proposed using the mentioned method and principle. To demonstrate feasibility of the proposed technique, five rectangular microstrip structures were investigated. Obtained results are compared with the data published by other researchers. Total error is typically in 6-12% range. |
