In the design of microwave circuits with high input frequence, accurate estimates of the capacitance of the structures are important for determining final circuit speeds or functionality. This paper describes to extend the fast algorithm for the capacitance extraction of large three-dimensional object. The triangular meshes are used and refined adaptively in the area where the heavy charges reside in each iterative solving. This technique is applied to the capacitance extraction of a 4×4 conducting bar. The results show fast convergence, and this adaptive technique coupled with the fast algorithm is efficient to reduce the number of elements and computing time with least additionally computational efforts in large three dimensional problems.
