A key feature of these representations is that the coupling between all of the modes excited is described by a matrix whose elements do not depend on frequency or absolute dimensions. The value of the results presented is that the networks developed can be used to analyze rigorously a large variety of single and coupled planar transmission line structures. %K Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones %K Multimode network representation %K Microstrip discontinuity %K Capacitive obstacle %K Integral equations %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
