Abstract
A theoretical and experimental evaluation of different Mode-Matching formulations for Microstrip Lines is presented. Four different formulations, using the two-dimensional Method-of-Lines for the calculation of the modes, are investigated. A number of measured microstrip steps, open ends and gaps are used for evaluation, with excellent results being obtained.
