Transmission line conductor loss calculation are often done using the incremental inductance rule. Although this useful technique has been around for many years and is used in commercial computer-aided design (CAD) programs, unfortunately it is often not understood by the current generation of design engineers, who are often faced with using transmission line structures, such as multiple dielectric layer transmission lines, that some CAD programs will not analyze. In addition, an understanding of the incremental inductance rule aids in the physical understanding of transmission lines and the loss mechanisms at work in them. This paper discusses the incremental inductance ...
