Abstract

Quasi-TEM propagation, appropriate for a linearly tapered microstrip line is modeled, and known microstrip impedance behavior is approximated directly. The telegraphist's equations and the resulting ABCD matrix are solved in terms of Airy functions. The theoretical model, which includes conductor and substrate losses, has been verified experimentally.
