Analysis of Bowman Squares Using Hybrid Boundary Element Method

Abstract

The characteristic parameters of the Bowman squares are determined using the hybrid boundary element method. Influences of different parameters on characteristic impedance values are analysed. Also, the case of multilayered dielectric is considered. The results for the characteristic impedance have been compared with the results obtained by other methods. Key words: Bowman squares, characteristic impedance, diamondwise structure, finite element method, hybrid boundary element method.
