Abstract-- The combination of the method of moments and
the discrete complex image method is extended to multilayered
printed circuits with vertical conductors crossing more than one
layer and/or located in different layers. Some realistic printed
circuits with multilayered vertical strips are analyzed, and results
are compared either to those presented in the literature or to
those obtained from the commercial software em by SONNET
Software, North Syracuse, NY. In addition, it is demonstrated
that this extension has facilitated the use of a recently developed
algorithm, which was specifically developed for the efficient
handling of multiple vertical conductors, for the analysis of
structures with multiple vertical strips running in multilayer
environment.
