Hi,Ray

Theoretically, all off-diagonal elements must be non-positive. As we expect
the coupling decreases rapidly. If you really want to calculate the last
coupling, I suggest you increase the accuarcy. I doult it is a numerical
decrepency. Obiously,
compared to others, the positive one is very small.

??




I've just extracted the RLGC matrices for 5 coupled
striplines using Apsimtech RLGC.

As expected, the diagonal elements of the capacitive matrix are
positive capacitance values. All the off-diagonal elements are
negative EXCEPT one. Is this correct. It has been a while since I've 
thought about this, but I was under the impression the capacitive
off diag element were all negative. Anyone know for sure ??

The element in column 1 row 5 is the one I question:


   3.1600e-15                        
  -4.9360e-16   3.2540e-15            
  -2.0080e-17  -4.8990e-16   3.2540e-15                        
  -1.3380e-18  -1.9820e-17  -4.8990e-16   3.2540e-15            
   3.1280e-20  -1.3380e-18  -2.0080e-17  -4.9360e-16   3.1600e-15
