Abstract A generalised model for characterising the frequency dependent properties of general offset overlap and gap discontinuity of asymmetric strip conductors in multi‐layered MIC environment is presented in this paper. The transverse resonance technique is applied in transformed domain to extract the equivalent PI‐circuit parameters of the discontinuity. The incorporation of options for offset between the strips and asymmetry in strip widths make the present model very general and useful for different structures in multi‐layered substrate environment. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
