Microstrip Line (msline)

This is a microstrip line based on the equations of Hammerstad and Jensen. The model contains a thickness correction to the width and frequency dependent permittivity and characteristic impedance. The dispersion equations are those of Kirschning and Jansen.

This device is supported within altergroups.
