Abstract

A moment-method technique based on using a combined quasi-dynamic, dynamic, and asymptotic approach is presented for the analysis of nonuniform microstrip transmission lines and discontinuities. It uses the grounded dielectric slab Green´s functions. The regions of validity of the quasi-dynamic and asymptotic approximations are determined in terms of the required accuracy in the Green´s functions. Numerical examples are presented and compared with available data to check the accuracy of the technique.<>
