Abstract :
The equivalent circuits for discontinuities in the form of a thin transverse slot and a circular aperture in the center conductor of a microstrip line are determined by a quasi-static analysis using equivalent dipole moments. The series reactance as a function of frequency is evaluated in terms of the geometrical parameters of the discontinuity. Data obtained from transmission measurements are presented to support the theory
