Abstract
The bi‐characteristic‐impedance transmission lines (BCITLs) are generally lossy transmission lines that possess different complex characteristic impedances for waves propagating in forward and reverse directions. Because of complicated equations associated with BCITLs, a graphical tool is necessary in the analysis and design. In this article, the standard T‐chart developed for conjugately characteristic‐impedance transmission lines (CCITLs) is generalized to treat BCITL problems, called a generalized T‐chart. It is found that the way of using this new graphical tool is similar to that of the standard T‐chart. However, the magnitude of the voltage reflection coefficient associated with BCITLs may be greater than unity for some passive load terminations. An example of using a generalized T‐chart is provided in this paper. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract For microwave signals within the 0.5 to 10.5 GHz range, we present an integrated broadband balun that carries signals from coaxial cable to microstrip to parallel‐plate line. We use this arrangement as the feed line for a broadband double‐sided antenna, and this antenna feed is presente
A new grahical method for analyzing impedance data presented in the complex plane plot is introduced. The advantage of our approach is that it can be employed easily with commonly available spreadsheet calculation software like Microsoft Excel, beneficial when no CNLS software is available. A semic
