The arbitrary transmission line calculator FAQ

Here are a number of examples of using `atlc`. Most of the example files can be found in the examples directory or if atlc is installed on the system, they will normally be located at /usr/local/share/atlc/examples. The very largest files, are not distributed to save disk space.

Cross section | Properties | E-field | Ex field | Ey-field | Voltage | Energy | Permittivity
| multi-dielectric.bmp: C= 94.3325 pF/m L= 274.7756 nH/m Zo= 53.9708 Ohms |  |  |  |  |  |
| ushape.bmp: C= 76.4283 L= 145.5809 nH/m Zo= 43.6441 Ohms |  |  |  |  |  |
| coax2.bmp: C= 47.6374 pF/m L= 233.5667 nH/m Zo= 70.0215 Ohms |  |  |  |  |  |
| very-odd.bmp: C=59.1756 pF/m L= 188.0251 nH/m Zo= 56.3685 Ohms |  |  |  |  |  |

The full details of exactly what the files mean is given here.

In the case of the open structures (such as microstrip or twin-wire cables) the electric field extends to infinity, as there is no surrounding conductor like in the case of the coax, u-shaped conductor of the very odd shape. By putting an open structure onto a finite grid, which does not extend to infintiy, we have introduced an error. You should check that the electric field in the file `of such structures is zero close to the edges - if not, a significant error will be introduced.`
