Abstract :
By using a co-ordinate transformation, the method of lines is extended to unbounded regions. The principle and formulas for the method are presented. For verification of the effectiveness of the method, the dispersion characteristics of open microstrip lines are calculated. They are in good agreement with the results of other methods.
