Abstract: | The expression for impedance is derived using the self-reaction concept with the assumption of a sinusoidal current distribution existing in the conductor loop. Three different cases of end launchers are computed for their corresponding input impedances. Comparison between calculated and measured input return loss of an end launcher shows good agreement between theory and experiment at Ka-band frequencies |
