Abstract :
A theoretical and experimental evaluation of different mode-matching formulations for microstrip lines is presented. Four different formulations, using the two-dimensional method-of-lines for the calculation of the modes, are investigated. A number of measured microstrip steps, open ends and gaps are used for evaluation, with excellent results being obtained
