Abstract:In this article, we show how the multimode equivalent network (MEN) technique can be extended to the analysis of multilayer boxed planar microwave circuits that are built using a thick metallization. This analysis is carried out considering the thick metallic circuit as a length of the uniform waveguide. The problem is then divided into two waveguide steps (or junctions). We first obtain the equivalent network of the two junctions. Then, we cascade them to obtain the MEN of the complete circuit, thereby includ… Show more
