Abstract

An analysis of microstrip-to-slotline transition is presented. The method of moments is applied to the coupled integral equations. In the formulation, the Green´s function for the grounded dielectric substrate, which takes into account all the radiation, surface wave, and substrate effects, is used. Meanwhile, all the mutual coupling effects are included in the method of moments solution. Certain related structures, such as slotline and microstrip discontinuities, a slot fed by a microstrip line, and a printed strip dipole fed by a slotline, can also be solved with this analysis. This approach may find applications to other related transitions in MIC (microwave integrated circuit) design
