Ah. Hamade et al., AN EFFICIENT APPROACH SUITABLE FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF NONUNIFORM TRANSMISSION-LINES, Microwave and optical technology letters, 10(3), 1995, pp. 146-150
A new method of moment-based formulation for the analysis of nonunifor
m transmission lines is presented. Subdomain complex basis functions a
re used to simulate different structures over a wide range of frequenc
ies. The results obtained using the proposed formulation are validated
by comparison to those obtained by CAD packages. Strip-line and micro
strip-line transitions are investigated with an application to the des
ign of a matched microstrip taper with width and dielectric height var
iations. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
