Abstract
This paper describes a new quasi-static technique for the analysis of coplanar and microstrip transmission line discontinuities. The method is a variation of the Space-Spectral Domain Approach (SSDA) which repr esents a novel combination of the 1-D Method of Line (MoL) and the 1-D Spectral Domain Approach (SDA). S-parameters and equivalent circuit p arameters of abrupt and tapered microstrip and coplanar discontinuitie s, are calculated. Theoretical results are verified experimentally. A comparison with full-wave methods shows good agreement up to 40 GHz.
