Abstract
A rigorous analysis of boxed microstrip single-step discontinuities and cascades of strongly coupled discontinuities is presented. Use is made of a variational formulation involving the expansion of the transverse E field at the step in terms of suitable basis functions. Strongly coupled steps are analyzed using the concept of localized and accessible modes and making use of a network model. The method is applied to a five-section low-pass filter
