Abstract :
A very efficient technique for the evaluation of the sums and integrals that arise in the solution to the problems of MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) passive components by the Green´s function moment method is described. Numerical results are presented for an open-ended microstrip line and the step discontinuity of a microstrip line. The advantage of the method is that the scattering parameters are found directly from the moment-method solution.<>
