Abstract
A model for the two-dimensional analysis of microstrip lines, named Rigorously Coupled Multi-conductor Strip (RCMS) is introduced. In this model, the width of the strip of a microstrip line is subdivided into a large number of rigorously coupled narrow strips. So, a microstrip line can be considered as a coupled multi-conductor transmission line. Determination of the capacitance and inductance matrices of the model is introduced, also. The voltages and currents induced by electromagnetic flelds for the coupled multi-condutor strips problem can be obtained using Bernardi's method. The efiect of an external EM wave on a microstrip line with non-uniformity in its width is computed by adding the circuit model of transverse discontinuity (narrow slit) to the RCMS model. Finally, the validity and e-ciency of the introduced method is investigated using previous work and full wave EM-simulation software.
