Capacitance in a Microstrip

To illustrate how to calculate the lumped parameters this model calculates the capacitance in a microstrip. The example shows the two different ways of calculating the capacitance. The model is solved twice: once with a static analysis and once with a time-harmonic analysis.

When making a static analysis you get the capacitance directly as a variable. When solving the time-harmonic problem you need to calculate the capacitance from the admittance by dividing the imaginary part of the admittance with the angular frequency. In this model, both of these two cases are investigated.
