A method is presented for calculating the capacitances and inductances per unit angle of circularly curved multiconductor transmission lines in multilayer printed boards. The capacitances and inductances of the 90° sector of the axially symmetrical structure are used for modeling a multipin connector analyzed with SPICE. By introducing the Kronecker product, the method becomes simple in programming, even for a great number of layers. The present paper is a first step to combining the 2D–FD (finite‐difference) method and the MOL (method of lines). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 8: 27–32, 1998.
