Abstract :
The letter gives details of excess phase calculations and measurements on microstrip DC breaks. Published microstrip discontinuity data has been used to develop an equivalent circuit which yields very good agreement between experimental and theoretical phase results over the frequency range 8 to 12 GHz.
