Abstract

A novel 2- and 3-D space spectral domain analysis (SSDA) simulator for microstrip and CPW transmission line discontinuities is described. The characteristic impedance, effective dielectric constant, and S-parameters of different type of transmission lines and discontinuities shapes can be computed. The topology of structure and the computed results are displayed using a graphical interface. The simulator has been implemented on Sun Sparcstations
