It is obtained the general expessions of the numerical method are applied for the TEM-mode analysis of multu-layer multi-coupled microstrip lines, In this paper, coupled microstrip are replaced by three-coupled microstrip lines in special aplications. Three-layer versions of three-coupled microstrip lines are specially attactive because of the additional flexibilities offered by three-layer configuration. This structure can be used for obtaining large capacitance and preventing coupling among microstrip lines in filter and coupler. Sappihre is chosen for anisotropic substrates material. The permittivity parallel to the optical axis is higher than the permittivity in the plane perpendicular to this axis.

In this paper, the distortion characteristics of an electrical pulse which has a rise/fall time due to the dispersion and the reflection, on nonuniform tapered microstrip lines has investigated in time domain. The transmission characteristics on uniform microstrip lines in time domain had represented already, but the results for the nonuniform tapered microstrip lines not represented yet. We investigated the transmission characteristics for pulse signal on the nonuniform tapered microstrip lines, and the result applied to design of wide band impedance matching circuit in design of MMIC. The voltage and current transfer functions are shown for the tapered line. The dispersion and distortion obtained by using these transfer functions are represented for the nonideal square pulse.

Step discontinuities of microstrip lines are analyzed using the mode-matching technique based on the well-known waveguide model. Including higher-order modes, the generalized scattering matrices are obtained. Asymmetrical step discontinuities as well as symmetrical step discontinuities are analyzed. The resonance characteristics of microstrip patches are calculated by cascading two microstrip step discontinuities through a uniform microstrip line. Experimental results agree well with theroretical ones.

In this paper, parasitic patches gap-coupled microstrip antenna and stacked microstrip patch antenna combined with parallel coupled lines, which are a kind of wideband impedance matching network, are proposed to get the wider bandwidth. The iterative method using a distributed network is proposed to design the parallel coupled lines as a wideband impedance matching network. Measurements show that the proposed antennas provide wider bandwidths ~1.6 times and ~1.5 times those of conventional parasitic gap-coupled microstrip patch antenna and stacked microstrip patch antenna. In addition, measured radiation patterns show no serious variation of radiation patterns though the parallel coupled lines is added. The antenna gain is, however, lowered about 1 dB and 0.5 dB by the coupling loss in the parallel coupled lines.

The normal mode parameters of microstrip coupled lines are datermined from the self and mutual capacitance and inductance of microstrip lines. In this paper, these capacitance are computed by using the relaxation method based on Quas1-TEM model for shoelded structure. Using these results, the normal mode parameters of two and three microstrip coupled lines are obtained.

We study on the transient response in non-uniform microstrip lines with optically controlled microwave pulses. The transient response of the microwave pulses in plasma layer has been evaluated by reflection function of dielectric microstrip lines. The variation of characteristic response in plasma layer with localized pulses has been evaluated analytically. Reflection the change of the reflection amplitude has been observed.

The crosstalk among three identical uniform coupled microstrip transmissiom lines is examined. To analyze the crosstalk, the simultaneous equations for the voltage and current waves on each transmission line are induced from the transmission line equation. The capacitance and the inductance of the line to solve the transmission line equation are calculated by the spectral domain analysis and the space domian analysis. There are three quasi-TEM modes is three microstrip transmission lines and the characteristics mode impedences in each mode are almost equal at a weak coupling state. The crosstalk among three identical microstrip transmission lines is calculated varying the frequency from 50MHz to 3GHz.

In this paper, we presented the quasi-static characteristics of novel microstrip lines with anisotropic grooved dielectric in finite metal. A quasi-static mode-matching method has been used to analyze this new structure and the simulation results are validated through comparison with other available results. The results in this paper show that it is possible to control the propagation characteristics of microstrip lines with the use of anisotropic grooved dielectric in finite metal. Also anisotropic grooved dielectric in microstrip line can be newly added to the design parameters of high performance three dimensional monolithic microwave circuits and other microwave applications.

The crosstalk among coupled microstrip lines is the major limiting factors of signal qualities in the high-speed digital and communication equipment. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is applied to analyze the crosstalk between the coupled microstrip lines. The proposed structures of the coupled microstrip lines are investigated to reduce the coupling in a simple way by modifying their ground plane with an optimum gap. The examples of these structures with the different sizes of the gaps on their ground plane are studied. These structures are considered as the four-port network to evaluate transmission efficiency, near- and far-end crosstalk. Gaussian pulse is excited to evaluate the frequency characteristics from dc to 30 ㎓. The transmission efficiency, near- and far-end crosstalk of each structure of the coupled microstrip lines are demonstrated. The numerical results of this study show that the majority of crosstalk is the far-end crosstalk. The usage of the optimum gap on the ground plane can reduce the far-end crosstalk of the coupled microstrip lines while the transmission efficiency is nearly equal.

This paper describes a new GaAs-based surface-micromachined microstrip line supported by dielectric post and air-gapped signal line with ground metal. This new type of dielectric-supported air-gapped microstripline(DAML) structure is developed using surface micromachining techniques to provide easy means of airbridge connection between the signal lines and to archive low losses at millimeter-wave frequency band with wide impedance range. Each DAMLs with the length of 5 mm are fabricated and the measured characteristics are compared with those of the conventional microstrip transmission line. These transmission lines are composed of 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ height of signal line, post size of 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ ${\times}$ 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and post height of 9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. By elevating the signal lines from the substrate using the micromachining technology, the substrate dielectric loss can be reduced Compared with of the conventional microstrip transmission line showing 7.5 dB/cm loss at 50 GHz, the loss can be reduced to 1.1 dB/cm loss at 50 GHz.
