Abstract

In this paper we present a new method for calculating the characteristic impedance of the transmission lines embedded in identical, symmetrical and reciprocal transitions. For calculating the matrix elements of the transitions as well as the characteristic impedance Z_C of the lines, the proposed method uses measurements of two different lengths of transmission lines.
