Abstract :
A time-domain scheme for the measurement of coupling characteristics of microstrip lines is presented. The method uses the correlation between Maxwellian and physical parameters of the telegrapher´s equations to define the normal modes of the system and to evaluate the propagation characteristics. Self and mutual coefficients are obtained for various levels of coupling and for different aspect ratios
