Abstract :
Calculated data, which extend the previous results of Farrar and Adams, are presented for the microstrip end effect as a function of width and substrate permittivity. With a quasistatic approximation, the excess capacitance associated with the open end was determined utilising the method of moments. Good experimental agreement was observed.
