  • Abstract
    Trapezoidal strip conductor edge shapes, the result of undercutting during the fabrication process of microstrip and other planar lines, are shown to appreciably increase conductor loss, according to a perturbational loss calculation method developed by Lewin and Vainshtein and implemented here for microstrip.
