Analysis of Step Discontinuities of Microstrip Lines Using the Mode-Matching Technique

모드 정합법을 이용한 마이크로스트립 선로 계단형 불연속의 해석

Step discontinuities of microstrip lines are analyzed using the mode-matching technique based on the well-known waveguide model. Including higher-order modes, the generalized scattering matrices are obtained. Asymmetrical step discontinuities as well as symmetrical step discontinuities are analyzed. The resonance characteristics of microstrip patches are calculated by cascading two microstrip step discontinuities through a uniform microstrip line. Experimental results agree well with theroretical ones.
