Microstrip discontinuities and coplanar waveguide dispersions and discontinuities including anisotropic substrates

Hsu, ChungJen

Abstract Details

1994, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Electrical Engineering.
This dissertation contains three main topics. The first one is the development of the dynamic source reversal method, based on potential theory with the help of the Tangent method, to characterize microstrip discontinuities. Detailed analysis of microstrip open-end and symmetrical and asymmetrical gap discontinuities, with anisotropic substrates, is carried out. The second one is to develop an efficient and accurate method to solve coplanar waveguide dispersion. The method uses the conformal mapping technique to derive the general expressions, as seen for the first time in the literature, for the sources on the central strip and ground planes of coplanar waveguide. These expressions are also proved to be very useful and precise to treat microstrip propagation characteristics. The third topic is to extend the dynamic source reversal method to characterize coplanar waveguide discontinuities with the help of the known propagation characteristics for no discontinuity obtained in the second topic. Detailed calculations for CPW open end discontinuities are accomplished in the transform domain. All the problems studied for these three topics include anisotropic substrates. The results for the three topics show very good accuracy and excellent efficiency. Some comparisons with th e results obtained by other methods proposed by authors are included.
