Static analysis of an open-ended coaxial line terminated by layered media

A spectral domain formulation for the aperture fields of an open-ended coaxial line terminated by layered dielectrics is considered. This analysis is simplified for the case of electrostatic fields. The static capacitance and fields over the annular aperture are determined. The results of this study may be used in nondestructive electrical characterization of layered dielectrics, such as biological media. >
