We use a surface impedance formulation to enable the MoM‐based full‐wave layered interconnect simulator, UA‐FWLIS, to handle conductor losses for stripline interconnects. Because these approaches are fully compatible with the previously developed analytical calculations for the reaction matrix elements, the computational efficiency of UA‐FWLIS is not affected by including conductor losses. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
