Abstract :
The scattering parameters of a step discontinuity in a microstrip line, on an uniaxially anisotropic substrate, has been analyzed using the mode matching technique. Closed-form equations for the dispersion of the effective dielectric constant and the effective width of the planar waveguide model of microstrip on an anisotropic substrate have been used. Computed data are presented for a number of commercially available anisotropic substrates, for different cutting angles
