Abstract :
This work will present and discuss an appropriate formulation of the electric field integral equation (EFIE) for an infinite microstrip line excited by a cylindrical vertical probe when the surface current on the strip as well as the surface current on the probe are taken as unknowns. Our proposal involves the solution of two auxiliary partial EFIEs, each one of them defined on different surfaces; namely either on the infinite strip surface or on the finite probe surface. The above procedure keeps the translational symmetry in one of the problem, which can be then solved with the help of standard Fourier techniques. The complete problem is finally solved by direct algebraic substitution
