Abstract :
A technique is described for determining the `transmission line´ voltage in the moment method field solution for different transmission line structures. An integral equation is developed which uses the full wave current distribution to find the voltage at arbitrary points along the transmission line. The technique is useful for reducing errors in port-to-port impedance calculations by moving the terminal plane away from the fringe fields caused by the introduction of a source
