Abstract

This Letter presents a method for extracting the lumped‐element equivalent‐circuit models of microstrip discontinuities by using the finite‐difference–time‐domain (FDTD) method. The cascading properties of the ABCD matrix are used to de‐embed the attachment lines, leading to the two‐port matrix of the discontinuity section alone. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
