Abstract :
A cavity resonance technique is used to experimentally verify microstrip coupler and open end capacitance models over the frequency range of 18-42 GHz. In addition, these results are confirmed using an alternate version of the technique which directly determines open end discontinuity capacitance. In the second case, knowledge of substrate dielectric constant is not required, and the method also yields the microstrip relative effective dielectric constant
