Markov Chain Monte Carlo Analysis of Microstrip Line

Abstract

Recent advances in the design of microwave solid-state integrated circuits have attracted well-deserved research attention especially the micro strip lines technology. The wide applicable areas of micro strip line have made a modest demand for a more holistic and novel approach in its analysis. In this work, a high grade micros trip line consisting of a track of alumina as an insulating substrate is analysed with the deployment of Markov chain Monte Carlo. Also, we obtained the values of capacitances with and without dielectric substrate, characteristic impedance, and potential distribution along the air-dielectric interface as well as that along the line of symmetry. The results compared with those obtainable from analytical and finite element methods using the same parameters are found to be close.
