Abstract
The fast Hankel transform (FHT) algorithm is implemented in the mixed-potential integral-equation (MPIE) analysis of planar microstrip circuits in stratified media. The spatialdomain Green's functions are accurately and quickly obtained by applying the FHT algorithm to the exact spectral-domain counterparts. Therefore, the entire analysis procedure has high accuracy and efficiency. A nonuniform partition scheme is used to effectively model the rapid change of current distributions around discontinuities. A generalized supplementary equation accounting for arbitrary termination conditions at both feeding and load ends is also derived. The proposed method is used to design a single-stub band-stop filter and a compensated dc block circuit. Experimental measurements are performed to validate the computation.
