Additional information
This is the electrostatic 2D model of a microstrip. Only one half of the system
is represented. Symmetry is accounted for by means of a Neumann boundary
condition (\vec{n}\cdot\vec{d}=0) on the symmetry axis. The voltage of the electrode, which is
not part the domain of analysis, is set to 1mV and is thus imposed as a
Dirichlet boundary condition. The electrode is laid on a dielectric slab of
relative dielectric permeability equal to 9.8, and which is grounded on its
lower face.
