A novel approach for modeling the discontinuities of transmission lines such as conductors with bends and varying size is proposed. The effect from the discontinuities is incorporated in the per‐unit‐length parameters of nonuniform transmission‐line equations. For canonical problems, our approach yields correct results. For a more general case, a comparison between our calculations and experimental data reported in the literature shows good general agreement. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
