Summary :

Finite-ground microstrip line (FGMSL) open-end discontinuities are characterized via a self-calibrated method of moments (MoM) as a unified circuit model with a fringing capacitance and radiation conductance. By integrating the short-open calibration (SOC) procedure into a determinant MoM, the model parameters are extracted without needing the alternative port impedance. Regardless of non-ideal voltage sources, extracted parameters are observed to achieve a stable convergence as the feeding line is sufficiently extended. After extracted capacitance of a FGMSL open-end with equal strip and finite-ground widths are validated against its traditional MSL counterpart with infinite ground, extensive results are given to originally demonstrate that the capacitance increases as a decelerated function of the finite-ground width and length while the conductance is negligibly small as compared with its imaginary part.
