Abstract :
The distortion of an electrical pulse with finite risetime caused by dispersion as it propagates along a uniform microstrip, a tapered microstrip, and a coupled pair of microstrips is investigated. Closed-form analysis equations for a single microstrip and for coupled microstrips and an algorithm for a numerical quadrature technique for evaluation of the inverse Fourier transform have been used. The results are useful in the time-domain analysis of many circuit components where such microstrips are used.<>
