Abstract
The analysis of a multilayered structure consisting of
several planar spiral conductors with a common vertical
axis is reduced to a treatment of certain rotationally
symmetric electro- and magnetostatic field problems.
These problems are solved using the variational method
and the Rayleigh-Ritz procedure. The unknown charge and
current distributions on the surfaces of the conductors
are estimated by compact sets of basis functions. Due to
the inhomogeneity of the medium the treatment is carried
out in the Hankel-transformed domain. The elements of the
resulting capacitance and inductance matrices are used to
create a network model for the original structure.
Finally, the method is verified against FEM simulations
in a case of a simple spiral inductor, and a good
agreement is found.
