Microstrip Computer-Aided Design in Europe

Abstract

The purpose of this survey is to provide a general idea about present microstrip research in Europe, emphasizing computer-aided design. Attention is drawn to the particularities of microstrip, which make it a particularly difficult field. The survey covers the description of microstrip lines, discontinuities and patch antennas, applications to circuit layout, followed by a brief description of MIC and nonlinear CAD.
