Abstract

A new deterministic quasi-static method is presented for the analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar circuit discontinuities including air bridges. Using the basic principles of the space-spectral domain approach (SSDA), this new method leads to an algebraic matrix equation for the discontinuity S-parameters. The resulting algorithm is computationally very efficient. Results are presented for microstrip and CPW discontinuities as well as CPW air bridges.<>
