Capacitive crosstalk between adiacent traces

Hi,
I'm trying to simulate the crosstalk phenomenom between two adiacent lines using Comsol v4 .

The geometry is easy, one FR4 substrate, two conductors and the air. I use a 2D - electrostatic analysis.

I would like to get the capacitance per length value and for this I found several examples with Comsol 3.5 where It seems to be possible to get the capacitance value simply from the C11 variable.

Ho can I do this in Comsol 4 with a 2D geometry ?

Thank you very much,
Matteo

I get it, I should have used Terminal as Boundary condition on the first conductor.

I take out the substrate considering the capacitor filled from the air and the capacitance value seems to be incorrect, for a distance = 2.5 mm , a thickness of 2 mm and width = 0.1 i get 1.54e-10 F/m different from the value I find with C[F/m] = er*thickness/distance...

Any help?

Matte

Update: I just realized that this is the Capacitance Value..not the capacotance per unit length...so how Comsol calculates this capacitance?

Sorry I wasn't able to open the last model. Did you checked the out-of-plane thickness in the Electrostatic tab ?

EDIT: Did you checked this model www.comsol.com/community/exchange/95/ ?

Hi, sorry for being late but I didn't notice the reply.

Here the project file. The capacitance value in a 2D problem should be per unit length, isn't it ?


Thanks,
Matteo
