Hi,
Does anyone know any free 2-d electromagnetic simulation software that can calculate transmission line parameters like characteristic impedance, propagation constant etc. including dispersion effects? Thanks.

Hello,
This is not a 2d em software but it helps you ...& it is free...
TX-Line is a free, easy-to-use, Windows-based interactive transmission line calculator for the analysis and synthesis of transmission line structures. TX-Line enables users enter either physical characteristics or electrical characteristic for common transmission medium such as:
Microstrip
Stripline
Coplanar waveguide
Grounded coplanar WG
Slotline
TX-Line has an easy-to-use interactive graphical user interface and runs on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP.

| Thank you, I know TXline. It is good but I need a solver for transmission lines with arbitrary cross sections. There is TNT (mmtl.sourceforge.net) software which is a full wave solver. I was looking for an alternative.

If you are working with cables, try EMC Studio, which includes Static2D solver to obtain LC parameters of arbitrary 2D cross-section and generates Spice circuits for cable bundle MTL model. Single wires, TWPs, ribbons, shielded (solid/braided shields) and multi-cables are supported.
As alternative 2D static solver you can also try Ansoft Maxwell SV.

hi
is this txline an analytical equation based calculator, or a field solver (diff.equation computation)?

| Txline is an analytical solver based on the quasi-static method.
