Abstract :
The recently invented MEI technique is applied to the 3-dimensional full-wave analysis of discontinuities in microstrip. Results for a microstrip dipole antenna, open end, and right-angle bend are in good agreement with earlier work. The MEI technique is faster and more powerful than previous methods. Its advantage increases with the size and complexity of the problem.<>
