Abstract

The method of images and currently available single‐series formulation of a rectangular planar segment have been applied to speed up the computations of impedance matrix elements of 30°–60°–90° and equilateral triangular microstrip segments used in planar microwave circuits. For an equilateral triangular segment, the elements of Z‐matrix are obtained by using the results for two 30°–60°–90° triangular segments, one of which has all magnetic walls and, in the other segment, one of the magnetic walls is replaced by an electric wall. The present formulations have been verified by comparison with the previously available double series formulations.
