Characteristic impedance of open microstrip transmission lines having finite thickness and multiple dielectric

A computer program is provided for determining the characteristic impedance of microstrip transmission lines having finite thickness. Infinite and finite ground planes are incorporated into the program. The programmer need only supply information in the form of a data card. This procedure is clearly outlined. Graphical solutions of characteristic impedance for multiple dielectric microstrip transmission line problems are obtained using a discrete resistive analogue. Computer network analysis programs are viewed as having several advantages not possessed by the physical resistive analogue --Abstract, page 2
